In some developed countries, the automatic vehicle recognition is a quite mature technology. This paper applies the multi-classification method based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) to vehicle recognition. Support vector machine, appeared recently, is a new theory and technology in the filed of pattern recognition and has shown excellent performance in practice. This method was proposed basing on Structural Risk Minimization (SRM) in place of Experiential Risk Minimization (ERM), thus it has good generalization capability. By mapping input data into a high dimensional characteristic space in which an optimal separating hyperplane is built, SVM presents a lot of advantages for resolving the small samples, nonlinear and high dimensional pattern recognition, as well as other machine-learning problems such as function fitting. The simulation results show that the proposed method is effective and feasible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
