A novel video based system for detecting and counting vehicles at user-defined virtual loops

作者:

Highlights:

• We present a system for detecting and counting vehicles in urban traffic videos.

• The detected and tracked vehicles are counted at user defined virtual loops.

• A background model is defined using Mixtures of Gaussians and Motion Energy Images.

• Vehicle detection and tracking relies on a flexible particle clustering scheme.

• The method potentially can be reliable based on experiments and method comparisons.
