This paper proposes a feature-based technique to detect pedestrians and recognize vehicles within thermal images that have been captured during nighttime. The proposed technique applies the support vector machine (SVM) classifier on CENsus Transformed histogRam Oriented Gradient (CENTROG) features in order to classify and detect humans and/or vehicles. Although thermal images suffer from low image...
Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier with Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) feature become one of the most popular techniques used for vehicle detection in recent years. And the computing time of SVM is a main obstacle to get real time implementation which is important for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications. One of the effective ways to reduce the computing complexity of...
This paper presents a popular method called boosted hog features to detect pedestrians and vehicles in static images. We compared the differences and similarities of detecting pedestrians and vehicles, then we selected boosted hog features to get an satisfying result. In the part of detecting pedestrians, Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) feature is applied as the basic feature due to its good...
License plate character segmentation (LPCS) is a very important part of vehicle license plate recognition (LPR) system. The accuracy of LPR system widely depends on two parts; namely license plate detection (LPD) and LPCS. Different country has different types and shapes of LPs are available. Based on character position on LP, we can find two types of LPs over the world, single row (SR) and double...
In this paper, we investigated the deep learning model for object classification. Robust classification networks were trained based on Deep Belief Networks (DBN) combined with several object representations included image pixel value, feature histogram by Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) operator and eigen-features to distinguish four categories: pedestrian, biker, vehicle and others in the real...
In this paper we present an automatic vehicle ingress/egress counting method by clustering dense trajectories extracted from monitoring videos. Dense trajectories are extracted based on dense optical flow when passengers cross the door of the vehicle, and then clustered into different groups according to their descriptors with each legitimate group as a passenger. The contribution of the proposed...
Traffic Flow Detection plays an important role in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Traffic flow detection focuses on the detection and segmentation of video object. The most existing methods need to implement complex background modeling, and accordingly increase the computing complexity and computing cost. In order to reduce the computing cost of the vehicle detection, we propose...
Recent years, many vision-based vehicle detection methods have been proposed. But just a few of them paid attention to vehicle type classification in a real-time video, which is an important part in intelligent traffic system. The Haar features and Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) features have been proposed as useful features for vehicle detection respectively. In this paper, we propose a method...
The recognition of vehicle manufacturer logo is a crucial and very challenging problem, which is still an area with few published effective methods. This paper proposes a new fast and reliable system for Vehicle Logo Recognition (VLR) based on Bag-of-Words (BoW). In our system, vehicle logo images are represented as histograms of visual words and classified by SVM in three steps: firstly, extract...
One of the main challenges for intelligent vehicles is the capability of detecting other vehicles in their environment, which constitute the main source of accidents. Specifically, many methods have been proposed in the literature for video-based vehicle detection. Most of them perform supervised classification using some appearance-related feature, in particular, symmetry has been extensively utilized...
The identification of the make of vehicles is a challenge task. In this paper, we proposed to combine two different features, i.e., Pyramid Histogram of Oriented Gradients (PHOG) and Curve let transform, to describe vehicle images. The Curve let transform has the feature of higher time frequency resolution and high degree of directionality and anisotropy, which is particularly appropriate for images...
Nowadays, vehicle tracking is a vital approach to assist and improve the road traffic control, surveillance and security systems by having the detail of the captured vehicle information. In past, many tracking techniques have been implemented and suffered from the well known 'occlusion' problems. Increasing the accuracy of the tracking algorithm has caused the computational cost due to the inflexibility...
Due to the numerous amounts of surveillance cameras available, security guards seem to be ubiquitously watching over. However, the number of existing cameras exceeds the number of humans to monitor them and the supervision of all the sensors' output is costly. Thus, video footage from cameras is most often only used as a forensic tool. This suggests the need of an intelligent video surveillance system...
In this paper, a Quasi-shot Segmentation Vehicle Detection (QSVD) method is proposed to improve the accuracy and robustness of traffic flow detection. The QSVD method is based on histogram intersection method to find the biggest difference between successive frames. Adjacent frames are considered in when vehicle is detected in current frame. Relying on the QSVD method, vehicle can be detected by signal...
Automatic License Plate Recognition is useful for real time traffic management and surveillance. License plate recognition usually contains two steps, namely license plate detection/localization and character recognition. Recognizing characters in a license plate is a very difficult task due to poor illumination conditions and rapid motion of vehicles. When using an OCR for character recognition,...
The paper proposes the histogram-based density discovery scheme as an alternative complement in obtaining density to LOUVRE, a landmark-based routing in the vehicular urban environment. The histogram-based scheme does not have the scalability problem as the P2P density scheme. Furthermore, it better accurately determines the road connectivity by considering non-uniform density. The paper makes the...
