Abstract

See full text

A vehicle detection method includes (1) vehicle likelihood region identifying step; (2) vehicle component locating step; and (3) vehicle detecting step. To reduce complexity of calculation and enhance accuracy of detection, the method uses a vehicle likelihood region identifying algorithm to eliminate background regions from a total thermal image and keep vehicle likelihood regions therein for use in further analysis and processing, detects obvious vehicle components, such as vehicle windows and vehicle bottoms, in the thermal image to thereby identify vehicle component likelihood regions, describes a space geometric relationship of vehicle components with a Markov random field model, defines vehicle detection as problems with maximum a posteriori probability, estimates the most likely configuration with an optimization algorithm, so as to effectuate vehicle detection.
