Abstract

Traffic surveillance videos can provide data of multimodal (car, bus, pedestrian, bicyclist, et al.) activities for transportation research in general. However, automated data extraction remains an issue due to illumination variation, size scaling, and angle changes. To tackle these challenges, this paper proposed a deep-learning based multimodal detection and tracking system. The proposed system consists of two modules: 1) a multimodal detection module which is based on the object detection framework of Faster R-CNN, and 2) a multiple object tracking module which is based on the KCF tracking algorithm. A comprehensive experiment based on traffic videos captured in different scenarios is conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. Testing results demonstrate that the proposed system can achieve better performance for multimodal detection and tracking compared with existing methods. The proposed system is tested to be robust to illumination variation, size scaling, and angle changes.
