Comparative Analysis of Background Subtraction and CNN Algorithms for Mid-Block Traffic Data Collection and Classification

Classification of vehicles in the traffic stream is a pre-requisite for planning and designing the facilities for road-users. Considering the importance and gaining popularity of automated systems in this field, the aim of this article is to compare two algorithms- one using the Background Subtracti...

Considering the importance and gaining popularity of automated systems in this field, the aim of this article is to compare two algorithms- one using the Background Subtraction (BS) technique and the other using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with a primary focus on an increased number of vehicle classifications. To check the reliability of these algorithms, the outputs produced were validated against the data obtained from Kachkoot Toll Plaza, India.
