Video based road traffic detection and analysis

In this article an autonomous vehicle detection algorithm is presented. The described technique is capable of accurate vehicle detection, can work with different cameras and is fairly immune to illumination changes. It is based on the idea of an adaptive background model and the background subtraction method for detecting motion. The application's performance tests ware conducted using real life video sequences and gave satisfactory results.
