• Authors: Vishal Mandal and Yaw Adu-Gyamfi
• Abstract summary: Authors deploy several state of the art object detection and tracking algorithms to detect and track different classes of vehicles. Model combinations are validated and compared against the manually counted ground truths of over 9 hours' traffic video data. Results demonstrate that the combination of CenterNet and Deep SORT, Detectron2 and Deep SORT, and YOLOv4 and Deep SORT produced the best overall counting percentage for all vehicles.

• Abstract: The rapid advancement in the field of deep learning and high performance computing has highly augmented the scope of video based vehicle counting system. In this paper, the authors deploy several state of the art object detection and tracking algorithms to detect and track different classes of vehicles in their regions of interest (ROI). The goal of correctly detecting and tracking vehicles' in their ROI is to obtain an accurate vehicle count. Multiple combinations of object detection models coupled with different tracking systems are applied to access the best vehicle counting framework. The models' addresses challenges associated to different weather conditions, occlusion and low-light settings and efficiently extracts vehicle information and trajectories through its computationally rich training and feedback cycles. The automatic vehicle counts resulting from all the model combinations are validated and compared against the manually counted ground truths of over 9 hours' traffic video data obtained from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. Experimental results demonstrate that the combination of CenterNet and Deep SORT, Detectron2 and Deep SORT, and YOLOv4 and Deep SORT produced the best overall counting percentage for all vehicles.

• Track Anything Rapter(TAR) [0.0]
  Track Anything Rapter (TAR) is designed to detect, segment, and track objects of interest based on user-provided multimodal queries. TAR utilizes cutting-edge pre-trained models like DINO, CLIP, and SAM to estimate the relative pose of the queried object. We showcase how the integration of these foundational models with a custom high-level control algorithm results in a highly stable and precise tracking system.
