Abstract
This disclosure describes a computer system architecture that enables accurate detection of real human onlookers while reducing false positives caused by static images, masks, or animals. The system operates on cost-effective hardware configurations typically found in personal computers and does not rely on advanced sensors such as 3D cameras. The invention combines micro-movement analysis, texture evaluation, and infrared (IR) reflection profiling to differentiate living individuals from non-human or non-living subjects. This approach allows reliable onlooker detection even in environments where only basic 2D imaging hardware is available.
