Abstract :
In this paper, a framework for spatiotemporal vehicle tracking using unsupervised learning-based segmentation and object tracking is presented. An adaptive background learning and subtraction method is proposed and applied to two real-traffic video sequences to obtain more accurate spatiotemporal information on the vehicle objects. As demonstrated in the experiments, almost all vehicle objects are successfully identified through this framework.
