A New Automatic Multiple Vehicle Detection Algorithm Based on Random Walk[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2010, 15(3): 392. DOI: 10.11834/jig.20100306.
In the light of the detection of multiple vehicles in the traffic video sequence the paper presents an edge detection based random walk algorithm for accurately detecting and segmenting the multiple vehicles in the video. First
the regions of the moving vehicles are detected by the background differences and the edge information
and the skeleton structures are extracted from the detected vehicle regions. Secondly
the effective pixel markers
which are obtained from the skeleton structures
are taken as the object seeds in the random walk algorithm. Finally
the automatic detection of the vehicles is realized by using seeds to segment multiple vehicles in a random walk way.
