Abstract
A real time vehicle tracking in image sequences is presented. The moving vehicles are segmented by the method of differential image followed by the process of morphological dilation. The vehicles are recognized and tracked using statistical moments. The straight lines in the moving vehicles are found with the help of Radon transform. The direction of the moving object is calculated from the orientation of the straight lines in the direction of the principal axes of the moving objects. The direction of the moving object and the displacement of the object in the image sequence are used to calculate the velocity of the moving objects.
