Abstract :
In this paper, a trajectory learning-based vehicle tracking algorithm is presented which is a new top-down vehicle tracker. The history of trajectory is learnt by a novel sptio-temporal data base known center transition matrix, CTM. At first, the CTM is constructed on centers which are obtained using fuzzy clustering on vehicle trajectories. The i, j-th element of CTM indicates passing of the object from center i to center j in two consecutive frames which CTM is completed by multi-object tracking. The CTM is efficient in search of similar blobs in image sequences and can determine the radius and region of search and increasing of convergence rate of RLS predictor. The proposed tracking algorithm is tested in the intersection of a highway to a square which gives good results.
