Detection and classification of vehicles

TLDR
Algorithm for vision-based detection and classification of vehicles in monocular image sequences of traffic scenes recorded by a stationary camera based on the establishment of correspondences between regions and vehicles, as the vehicles move through the image sequence is presented.
Abstract
This paper presents algorithms for vision-based detection and classification of vehicles in monocular image sequences of traffic scenes recorded by a stationary camera. Processing is done at three levels: raw images, region level, and vehicle level. Vehicles are modeled as rectangular patches with certain dynamic behavior. The proposed method is based on the establishment of correspondences between regions and vehicles, as the vehicles move through the image sequence. Experimental results from highway scenes are provided which demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. We also briefly describe an interactive camera calibration tool that we have developed for recovering the camera parameters using features in the image selected by the user.
