ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a neural network-based system for detecting the presence of a vehicle within a traffic scene. The vehicle detection system comprises an apparatus for producing an image signal representative of an image of the traffic scene and a trainable neural network for identifying the presence of a vehicle within the traffic scene. The present invention is also directed to a method for detecting the presence of a vehicle within a traffic scene. The vehicle detection method includes the steps of producing an image signal representative of an image of the traffic scene, collecting a training set of these image signals, training a neural network from this training set of image signals to correctly identify the presence of a vehicle within the traffic scene and performing surveillance of the traffic scene with the trained neural network to detect the presence of a vehicle.
