Abstract: A Multiple moving object detection, tracking, and counting algorithm is mainly designed exclusively suitable for congested areas. The counting system can alleviate the betrayal performance in the crowded areas. Most of the existing methods developed for tracking and counting face serious challenges in detection due to high densities of the target. This condition urged the researchers to update the existing systems. The present methodology was designed to address such issues. In the present methodology, the contrast was initially enhanced between the objects and their backgrounds using a Double Plateau Histogram Equalization (DPHE). Then, the motion was estimated for the contrast-enhanced image to identify the moment of the object using the modified Adaptive Distance Covariance Rood Pattern Search (ADCRPS) algorithm. After that, the morphological operation was deployed to sharpen the images by removing all the unwanted things. Then, the features were extracted and important features were selected using the modified Chaotic Tent Shuffled Shepherd Optimization (CTSSO) Algorithm. With the selected features object, detection was done using the proposed Scaled Non-Monotonic Cauchy Dense Convolutional Neural Network (SNMC-DenCNN). The detected object was then tracked with the aid of Channel and Spatial Reliability Tracker (CSRT). Finally, the objects were counted by intersection over union (IOU) by explicitly computing the association between detected and tracked objects. Also, the experimental results showed the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed system with enhanced accuracy.
