Abstract
Vehicle occlusion in congested ground traffic situations causes performance degradation in visual traffic surveillance systems. In this paper, we present a hidden Markov model (HMM) -based vehicle detection algorithm that is capable of handling vehicle occlusion and detecting vehicles from image sequences. In our algorithm, we first use principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) to extract features from input images, and then apply HMM to classify each image into three categories (road, head and body), where categories are called states in this paper. Finally we detect vehicles by analyzing the extracted state sequences. Results of experiments demonstrate that our algorithm is effective in congested traffic situations.
