| description | Safety on roads and the prevention of accidents have become major problems in the world. Intelligent cars are now a standard in the future of transportation. Drivers will benefit from the increased support for driving assistance. This means relying on the development of integrated systems that can provide real-time information to help drivers make decisions. Therefore, computer vision systems and algorithms are needed to detect and track vehicles. This helps traffic management and driving assistance. This paper focuses on developing a reliable vehicle tracking system to detect the vehicle that is following the host vehicle. The proposed system uses a unique approach consisting of a mixture of background removal techniques, Haar features in a modified Adaboost algorithm in a cascade configuration, and SURF descriptors for tracking. From the camera mounted at the rear of the host vehicle, videos are captured. The results presented in this paper demonstrate the potential and efficiency of the system. |
