Abstract
The present invention discloses a vehicle tracking system and method, and the tracking method comprises the steps of capturing a bright object from an image by the bright object segmentation; labeling the bright object by a connected component labeling method and forming a connected component object; identifying, analyzing and combining the characteristics of the connected component object to form a lamp object by the bright object recognition; tracking the trajectory of the lamp object by a multi-vehicle tracking method; and identifying the type of a vehicle having the lamp object by the vehicle detection/recognition and counting the number of various vehicles.

A vehicle tracking method, comprising the steps of:
- capturing a plurality of bright objects from an image by the bright object segmentation;
- labeling coordinates of the plurality of bright objects by a connected component object labeling method to form a plurality of connected component objects;
- identifying, analyzing and combining characteristics of the plurality of connected component objects by the bright object recognition to form a plurality of lamp objects;
- and
- identifying the type of a vehicle having the plurality of lamp objects by the vehicle detection/recognition, and counting the number of various vehicles.
A vehicle tracking system, comprising:
- an image capture module, for capturing an image;
- a display module, for displaying the image;
- and
- a processing module, comprising:
- a bright object segmentation unit, for capturing a plurality of bright objects from an image;
- a connected component, for labeling coordinates of the plurality of bright objects by object labeling unit to form a plurality of connected component objects;
- a bright object identifying unit, for identifying, analyzing and combining characteristics of the plurality of connected component objects;
- a multi-vehicle tracking unit, for tracking a trajectory of the plurality of lamp objects;
- and
- a vehicle identifying unit, for identifying the type of a vehicle having the plurality of lamp objects;
- the processing module further counting the number of various vehicles to control the number of various vehicles displayed by the display module.
