Title
A Differential Evolution Based Multiclass Vehicle Detector and Classifier for Urban Environments
Abstract
AbstractVideo analytics is emerging as a high potential area supplementing intelligent transportation systems ITSs with wide ranging applications from traffic flow analysis to surveillance. Object detection and classification, as a sub part of a video analytical system, could potentially help transportation agencies to analyze and respond to traffic incidents in real time, plan for possible future cascading events, or use the classification data to design better roads. This work presents a specialized vehicle classification system for urban environments. The system is targeted at the analysis of vehicles, especially trucks, in urban two lane traffic, to empower local transportation agencies to decide on the road width and thickness. The main thrust is on the accurate classification of the vehicles detected using an evolutionary algorithm. The detector is backed by a differential evolution DE based discrete parameter optimizer. The authors show that, though employing DE proves expensive in terms of computational cycles, it measurably improves the accuracy of the classification system.
