Detection and tracking of vehicles based on the videoregistration information

Abstract

This paper describes the technology of detection and tracing vehicles on the sequence of images based on digital video stream analysis in the real-time mode. Such technology can be used for car identification, license plates recognition, and for defining of car traffic parameters: the cars speed and average speed of car traffic, the traffic density, et cetera. One of the main advantages of the presented technology is the simplicity of realization and the possibility of making a cheap solution based on it (cheap camera and a ordinary PC), in contrast to most of the specialized solutions with a high price, and requirements of high-performance hardware components as usual.
