Abstract

The number of vehicles are rapidly increased as modern industrialization is developed worldwide. Vehicle recognition has been studied for a while because mmy People acknowledged it has critical functions to solve the problems of traffic control or vehicle-related crimes. In this paper a novel method is proposed to recognize vehicles' model corresponding makers in order to increase the efficiency of recognition. Texture features are computed from the frontal image of vehicles. A three-layer neural network was built and trained with the texture features for recognition. The proposed method shows 95$\%$ recognition rate for moving vehicles' models.

산업화가 활발히 이루어지면서 자동차의 수요도 세계적으로 급증하고 있다. 교통제어나 차량에 연관된 범죄 등에서 자동차의 인식에 관한 연구의 중요성 때문에 이에 관련된 연구는 오래 전부터 수행되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 이동차량의 인식 효율성을 높이기 위하여 제조회사별 차종을 인식하는 혁신적인 방법을 제시한다. 차종의 인식은 질감을 이용하여 인식하였다. 차량의 전면부는 모델별로 다르다는데 착안하여 운행차량의 전면부 영역에서 질감을 추출하였다. 획득한 질감 특징을 차종별로 3중신 경망에 학습을 시킨 후 인식을 시도하였다. 제안 알고리즘에서 차종의 인식은 95$\%$로 양호하게 나타났다.
