Abstract
The paper presents a method for extracting and tracking vehicles in a video sequence. This scheme combines background updating and edge detection algorithms with model based object tracking. It enables a robust mapping of vehicles trajectories and reliable determination of occupancy of detection zones. The devised method is suitable for application in video sensors for road traffic control systems.
