Abstract

The invention discloses a vehicle detection method based on hybrid image template. This method consists of the three steps. Firstly, use no less than one vehicle image for template learning. Secondly, use information projection algorithm to learn a hybrid image template from the training images for vehicle object. The hybrid image template consists of no one less than image patch. Meanwhile, calculate the likelihood probability distribution of this template. Thirdly, use the learned HIT template to detect vehicle objects from testing images. The invention is suitable to detect vehicles with various vehicle shapes, vehicle poses, time-of-day and weather conditions. Besides vehicle localization, this method can also provide the detailed description of vehicle object.
