    Abstract: Many conventional video processing algorithms attempting to detect human presence in a video stream often generate false positives on non-human movements such as plants moving in the wind, rotating fan, etc. To reduce false positives, a technique exploiting temporal correlation of non-human movements can accurately detect human occupancy while reject non-human movements. Specifically, the technique involves performing temporal analysis on a time-series signal generated based on an accumulation of foreground maps and an accumulation of motion map and analyzing the running mean and the running variance of the time-series signal. By determining whether the time-series signal is correlated in time, the technique is able to distinguish human movements and non-human movements. Besides having superior accuracy, the technique lends itself to an efficient algorithm which can be implemented on low cost, low power digital signal processor or other suitable hardware.
