Real Time Car Detection and Tracking in Mobile Devices

The paper presents a real time car detection and tracking system that can be used in a mobile device equipped with a camera (e.g. handset, tablet etc.). The underlying detector is implemented using a variant of the AdaBoost [5], and the tracker is built on Lucas-Kanade optical flow algorithm. The uniqueness of the work lies in the simplicity and the portability of the framework that can assist drivers in real time without much computation effort.
