Description
Summary:Traffic surveillance is an important issue in intelligent transportation systems. Efficient and accurate vehicle detection is one challenging problem for complex urban traffic surveillance. As such, this paper proposes a new vehicle detection method using spatial relationship GMM for daytime and nighttime based on a high-resolution camera. First, the vehicle is treated as an object composed of multiple components, including the license plate, rear lamps and headlights. These components are localized using their distinctive color, texture, and region feature. Deriving plate color converting model, plate hypothesis score calculation and cascade plate refining were accomplished for license plate localization. Multi-threshold segmentation and connected component analysis are accomplished for rear lamps localization. Frame difference and geometric features similarity analysis are accomplished for headlights localization. After that, the detected components are taken to construct the spatial relationship using GMM. Finally, similar probability measures of the model and the GMM, including GMM of plate and rear lamp, GMM of both rear lamps and GMM of both headlights are adopted to localize vehicle. Experiments in practical urban scenarios are carried out under daytime and nighttime. It can be shown that our method can adapt to the partial occlusion and various lighting conditions well, meanwhile it has a fast detection speed.
