Car detection with and without motion features

- Abstract
- Object detection is a big research area and has been investigated for many different purposes and objects, such as faces, pedestrians and vehicles. Depending on the application there are different limitations to adjust to, but also possibilities to take advantage of.
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the improvement of an existing car detector when the detections are performed in video sequences. The original detector uses only individual frames and the new one utilizes the video format by adding motion features in the detection.
Motion features are features which give information about motion in the image. In this work the motion features used come from background images which are calculated from previous frames in the...

Depending on the application there are different limitations to adjust to, but also possibilities to take advantage of.
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the improvement of an existing car detector when the detections are performed in video sequences. The original detector uses only individual frames and the new one utilizes the video format by adding motion features in the detection.
Motion features are features which give information about motion in the image. In this work the motion features used come from background images which are calculated from previous frames in the video. The input to the detector is both the image and the background image and there is movement in the image where the images differ.
When evaluation was performed on the training data the detectors performed better with than without motion features. That is an indication that there might be additional information in the motion features.
On the validation data it was observed that when using motion features only moving objects were detected but although the evaluation was only performed in an area of the image where the vehicles were always moving there was no significant improvement to be found from the use of motion features.

- För att automatiskt kunna utvärdera säkerheten i trafiken vill vi kunna hitta hur trafikanterna förflyttar sig i förhållande till varandra. Det första steget för att åstadkomma detta är att hitta — eller detektera — trafikanter i de enskilda bilderna i en film. Mycket har forskats på detektionsproblem i enstaka bilder men eftersom tillämpningen kommer att vara på filmer har det här tagits till vara på den information som finns i videoformatet genom att använda att det vi letar efter rör på sig.
