Vehicle Type Recognition for Buses, Sedans, and Vans

This article presents a comprehensive MATLAB program for vehicle type recognition, designed to classify various vehicle categories including buses, sedans, and vans. The implementation employs background subtraction as the primary technique to isolate moving vehicles from static backgrounds, effectively detecting vehicle regions within input images. Following this initial detection, the program executes a sequence of sophisticated image processing operations that may include morphological operations for noise removal, feature extraction algorithms for characteristic analysis, and classification methods for type determination. The implementation utilizes MATLAB's Image Processing Toolbox functions such as imabsdiff for background subtraction, regionprops for feature extraction, and potentially machine learning classifiers for vehicle categorization. Through systematic image analysis and processing algorithms, this program ensures high accuracy and reliability in vehicle recognition, contributing to enhanced traffic management systems and improved road safety applications.
