Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting and tracking vehicles. One embodiment of a system for detecting and tracking an object (e.g., vehicle) in a field of view includes a moving object indication stage for detecting a candidate object in a series of input video frames depicting the field of view and a track association stage that uses a joint probabilistic graph matching framework to associate an existing track with the candidate object.
Claims20
A system for detecting and tracking an object in a field of view, the system comprising:
- a moving object indication stage for detecting a candidate object in a series of input video frames depicting the field of view;
- and
- a track association stage that uses a joint probabilistic graph matching framework to associate an existing track with the candidate object.
A method for detecting and tracking an object in a field of view, the method comprising:
- detecting a candidate object in a series of input video frames depicting the field of view;
- and
- associating an existing track with the candidate object in accordance with a joint probabilistic graph matching framework.
A computer readable storage device containing an executable program for detecting and tracking an object in a field of view, where the program performs steps comprising:
- detecting a candidate object in a series of input video frames depicting the field of view;
- and
- associating an existing track with the candidate object in accordance with a joint probabilistic graph matching framework.
