AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The detection line method algorithm is relatively simple, but it only uses the time information of the image sequence, does not fully exploit the spatial information of the image sequence, and can only detect limited traffic information. The algorithms used by commonly used traffic video detection equipment are mostly based on the detection line method

Compared with the detection line method, the algorithm of the vehicle tracking method is relatively complicated, but it makes full use of the time and space information packets of the vehicle in the image sequence, and contains more vehicle behavior information.
