Abstract

A computer vision problem is considered. The prototype is the optical flow car tracker within MATLAB Computer Vision System Toolbox, tracking cars in one-direction road traffic. For adapting the tracker to work with other problems of moving cars stationarycameradetection, having different properties (video length, resolution, velocity of those cars, camera disposition, prospect), it is parametrized. Altogether there are 19 parameters in the created MATLAB function, fulfilling the tracking. Eight of them are influential regarding the tracking results. Thus, these influential parameters are ranked into a nonstrict order by the testing-experience-based criterion, where other videos are used. The preference means that the parameter shall be varied above all the rest to the right side of the ranking order. The scope of the developed MATLAB tool is unbounded when objects of interest move near-perpendicularly and camera is stationary. For cases when camera is vibrating or unfixed, the parametrized tracker can fit itself if vibrations are not wide. Under those restrictions, the tracker is effective for visual statistical surveillance of one-direction road traffic.
