Abstract

In the context of video processing, transmission to a remote server is not always possible nor suitable. Video processing on the edge could offer a solution. However, lower processing capacities constraint the number of techniques available for devices, in this work we report the performance of two techniques for classification from video on a minicomputer. The implementation of a real-time vehicle counting and classification system is evaluated through Support Vector Machine (SVM) and the Single Shot Detector Framework (SSD) in a minicomputer. We compare two SVM bases techniques, IPHOG and a MBF using Scale Invariant Features. The obtained results show that with a video resolution of 1280 \(\times \) 720 pixels and using SVM, precision and recognition rates of 86% and 94% are obtained respectively, while with SSD 93% and 67% rates are reached with times of processing higher than SVM.

Thanks to the Ecuadorian Corporation for the Development of Research and Academia, CEDIA, for the financing provided to research, through the CEPRA projects, especially the CEPRA project - XII -2018; Clasificador-video para actores de la movilidad como alternativa a conteos volumetricos manuales.
