“…If the pose of the object changes, then the classical Lucas-Kanade affine tracker can be employed ( Lucas & Kanade, 1981 ). In order to obtain a tracking system that is robust to the change of shapes and viewing positions of the vehicles, the corners or points of interest of the deformable vehicular objects are determined and features such as the histograms of oriented gradients (HOGs) ( Niknejad, Takeuchi, Mita, & McAllester, 2012;Olmedo, Sastre, Bascon, & Caballero, 2013 ), the speeded up robust features (SURFs), the scale invariant feature transforms (SIFTs) ( Lu, Izumi, Teng, & Wang, 2014;Mantripragada, Trigo, Martins, & Fleury, 2013;Shi & Tomasi, 1994 ) and the binary robust invariant scalable keypoint (BRISK) features ( Hassannejad, Medici, Cardarelli, & Cerri, 2015 ) are obtained from these points. Due to the fact that the vehicles are identified and their positions are estimated using the HOG, SURF, SIFT or BRISK features generated from the points of interest only, the tracking trajectories estimated from these methods may not provide satisfactory performance for occlusions or noisy environments.…”
