Abstract

This paper proposes a real-time vehicle tracking and type recognition system. An object tracker is recruited to detect vehicles within CCTV video footage. Subsequently, the vehicle regionof-interest within each frame are analysed using a set of features that consists of Region Features, Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) histogram features. Finally, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) is recruited as the classification tool to categorize vehicles into two classes: cars and vans. The proposed technique was tested on a dataset of 60 vehicles comprising of a mix of frontal/rear and angular views. Experimental results prove that the proposed technique offers a very high level of accuracy thereby promising applicability in real-life situations
