Categorical Vehicle Classification and Tracking using Deep Neural Networks

The classification and tracking of vehicles is a crucial component of modern transportation infrastructure. Transport authorities make significant investments in it since it is one of the most critical transportation facilities for collecting and analyzing traffic data to optimize route utilization, increase transportation safety, and build future transportation plans. Numerous novel traffic evaluation and monitoring systems have been developed as a result of recent improvements in fast computing technologies. However, still the camera-based systems lag in accuracy as mostly the systems are constructed using limited traffic datasets that do not adequately account for weather conditions, camera viewpoints, and highway layouts, forcing the system to make trade-offs in terms of the number of actual detections. This research offers a categorical vehicle classification and tracking system based on deep neural networks to overcome these difficulties. The capabilities of generative adversarial networks framework to compensate for weather variability, Gaussian models to look for roadway configurations, single shot multibox detector for categorical vehicle detections with high precision and boosted efficient binary local image descriptor for tracking multiple vehicle objects are all incorporated into the research. The study also includes the publication of a high-quality traffic dataset with four different perspectives in various environments. The proposed approach has been applied on the published dataset and the performance has been evaluated. The results verify that using the proposed flow of approach one can attain higher detection and tracking accuracy.
