| Summary: | This paper presents a new method of detecting vehicles by using a simple and effective algorithm. The features of a vehicle are the most important aspects in detection of vehicles. The corner points are considered for the proposed algorithm. A large number of points are densely packed within the area of a vehicle, and the points are calculated by using the Harris corner detector. Making use of the fact that they are densely packed, grouping of these points is carried out. This grouping indicates that the group of corners belongs to each vehicle, and such groupings play a vital role in the algorithm. Once grouping is done, the next step is to eliminate the background noise. The Lucas-Kande algorithm is used to track the extracted corner points. Each corner point of the vehicle is tracked to make the output stable and reliable. The proposed algorithm is new, detect vehicles in multiple conditions, and also works for complex environments. |
