This research proposes a background subtraction method with the truncate threshold to improve the accuracy of vehicle detection and tracking in real-time video streams. In previous research, vehicle detection accuracy still needs to be optimized, so it needed to be improved. In the vehicle detection method, there are several parts that greatly affect, one of which is the thresholding technique. Different thresholding methods can affect the results of the background and foreground separation. Based on the results of testing the proposed method can improve accuracy by more than 20% compared to the previous method. The thresholding method has a considerable influence on the final result of vehicle object detection. The results of the average accuracy of the three types of time, i.e. morning, daytime, and afternoon reached 96.01%. These results indicate that the vehicle counting accuracy is very satisfying, moreover, the method has also been implemented in a real way and can run smoothly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
