Research on High-definition Video Vehicles Location and Tracking

The technology of high-definition video detection has the virtue of high resolution, which can clearly detect vehicle information and license plates, etc. In this paper, according to the characteristics of high-definition video detection technology, we propose a new vehicle location and tracking method, which is based on the brightness curve. Firstly, break up the image by regions, and then we can get the brightness curve of each lane by doing horizontal projection. Then do the background modeling to the brightness curve, thus the horizontal vehicle division is completed. Do adaptive edge detection to the regions divided by lanes, and then we can get the vertical location of vehicles by doing the vertical projection and adaptive filtering. After the completion of vehicle location, do prediction and tracking of vehicles using the algorithm presented in this paper which is based on brightness curve. Experiments show that the algorithm is simple and effective, with a small amount of calculation, which can locate the information of high-definition video vehicles more accurately, and achieve vehicle location and tracking. This algorithm can basically meet the real-time processing requirement.
