A Review on Video-Based Techniques for Vehicle Detection, Tracking and Behavior Understanding

The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) provides services related to different modes of transport and traffic management systems with an integration of traffic control centers. Video-Based investigation for traffic surveillance has been a vital part of ITS. The traffic surveillance in urban environment have become more challenging compared to the highways due to various factors like camera placement, cluttered background, pose variation, object occlusion and illumination changes. This paper provides review on videobased vehicle surveillance for detection, tracking and behavior analysis with systematic description. In this survey we classify the dynamic attributes of vehicle with respect to vehicle motion and appearance characteristics, including velocity, direction of movement, vehicle trajectories on a single camera.
