Video Vehicle Detection Method Based on Multiple Color Space Information Fusion

Abstract

A detection method which selective fuses the nine detection results of RGB, YCbCr and HSI color space according to the image color space relative independence of each component and complementarities is approached in order to improve vehicle video detection accuracy. The method fuses three different detection results in nine components by the value of H when the value of both S and I are higher and does another three detection results when the value of both S and I are smaller. Experiments show that the method compared to the traditional method using only the detection results of the brightness component improved substantial, reduced empty of the detected vehicle a large extent and increased traffic information data accuracy depending on the detection result.
