Real-time Detection of Vehicles Using the Haar-like Features and Artificial Neuron Networks

In this document, a vehicle detection system is presented. This system is based on two algorithms, a descriptor of the image type haar-like, and a classifier type artificial neuron networks. In order to ensure rapidity in the calculation extracts features by the descriptor the concept of the integral image is used for the representation of the image. The learning of the system is performed on a set of positive images (vehicles) and negative images (non-vehicle), and the test is done on another set of scenes (positive or negative). To address the performance of the proposed system by varying one element among the determining parameters which is the number of neurons in the hidden layer; the results obtained have shown that the proposed system is a fast and robust vehicle detector.
