Abstract :
Focusing on vehicle detection system, multi-vehicles are detected as a single target, disturbed by cast shadows. No matter what illumination, or if there are shadows, the luminance of the vehicle bottom decreased, the area is the darkest region of an image, is an important information for vehicle detection. Our results show the self-adaptive for the illumination variance, and low ratio of miss detection and redundant detection errors, anti-jamming of our method.
