Car Detection in Traffic Videos

Resource Overview

Detecting cars in traffic videos, requiring MATLAB R2009a or later version. Includes implementation programs and test videos for algorithm development and simulation.

Detailed Documentation

In this document, we will discuss how to use MATLAB for detecting cars in traffic videos. First, ensure your MATLAB version is R2009a or later, as this version provides necessary functions and toolboxes for video processing. The package includes implementation programs and test videos that simulate various traffic scenarios. These resources allow developers to experiment with different computer vision techniques such as background subtraction, frame differentiation, and object classification algorithms. Through systematic testing, we can better understand vehicle movement patterns in traffic footage and develop more accurate detection algorithms. The implementation typically involves key functions like VideoReader for video input, vision.ForegroundDetector for motion detection, and blob analysis functions for vehicle identification. Let's begin exploring these techniques!
