An overhead people detection and tracking system and method is provided. The system includes a memory having computer-readable instructions stored therein. The system includes a processor configured to access a plurality of video frames captured using one or more overhead video cameras installed in a space. The processor is configured to extract one or more images of the space from the plurality of video frames. Further, the processor is configured to process the one or more images to identify person detections in the space. Each detection corresponds to a person present in the space. In addition, the processor is configured to analyze the detections to define at least one of true positives and false positives associated with movement of one or more persons within the space. Furthermore, the processor is configured to maintain a count of the one or more persons entering and/or exiting the space based upon at least one of the true positives and the false positives.
