Understanding crowd behavior is essential in mass religious gatherings for crowd managers. Surveillance devices such as CCTV provide data in real time in the form of raw video, while the crowd manager estimates the crowd state from video based on their experience. In this study, we propose a methodology to automate the crowd parameter estimation process using an object detection model and tracking algorithm, which will assist crowd managers in estimating the state of the crowd. There are two key contributions to this study. First, the study proposes a methodology to automate crowd parameter estimation from video in a mass religious gathering. Second, the existing state-of-the-art object detection model has been improved to adapt to the challenging situation of mass religious gatherings with high density, high diversity crowd videos. CCTV videos from Kumbh Mela 2016 are used for this study. © 2023, Transportation Research Group of India.
