Abstract Vehicle type recognition (VTR) is an important research topic due to its
significance in intelligent transportation systems. However, recognizing vehicle type on
the real-world images is challenging due to the illumination change, partial occlusion
under real traffic environment. These difficulties limit the performance of current stateof-art methods, which are typically based on single-stage classification without
considering feature availability. To address such difficulties, this paper proposes a twostage vehicle type recognition method combining the most effective Gabor features. The
first stage leverages edge features to classify vehicles by size into big or small via a
similarity… More >
