Abstract

Vehicle detection is an important issue in driver 
assistance systems and self-guided vehicles that includes two 
stages of hypothesis generation and verification. In the first 
stage, potential vehicles are hypothesized and in the second 
stage, all hypothesis are verified. The focus of this work is to 
classify vehicle candidate images into vehicle and non-vehicle 
classes. We extract Pyramid Histograms of Oriented Gradients 
(PHOG) features from a traffic image as candidates of feature 
vectors to detect vehicles. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) 
is applied to these PHOG feature vectors as a dimension 
reduction tool to obtain the PHOG- PCA vectors. Then we 
employ real coded chromosome Genetic Algorithm (GA) and 
linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify the 
PHOG-PCA features as well as to improve their performance 
and generalization. Our tests show good classification accuracy 
of more than 96% correct classification on realistic on-road 
vehicle images.
