Classification and Counting of Vehicle using Image Processing Techniques

Abstract: In this research work, we explore the vehicle detection technique that can be used for traffic surveillance systems. This system works with the integration of CCTV cameras for detecting the vehicle. Vehicle Tracking and Counting Monitoring highway traffic is an important application of computer vision research. In this paper, we analyze congested highway situations where it is difficult to track individual vehicles in heavy traffic because vehicles either occlude each other. In this we focus on the issues to propose a viable solution and we apply the vehicle detection results to multi object tracking and vehicle counting. Vehicle detection and vehicle type recognition is a practical application of machine learning concepts and is directly applicable for various operations in a traffic surveillance system contributing to an intelligent traffic surveillance system. This paper will introduce the processing of automatic vehicle detection and recognition using static image datasets. Further using the same technique, we shall improvise vehicle detection by using live CCTV surveillance. The surveillance system includes detection of moving vehicles and recognizing them, counting number of vehicles.
