Abstract

Vehicle Make and Model Recognition (Vehicle MMR) systems that are capable of improving the trustworthiness of automatic number plate recognitions systems have received attention of the research community in the recent past. Out of a number of algorithms that have been proposed in literature the use of Scale Invariant Feature Transforms (SIFT) in particular have been able to demonstrate the ability to perform vehicle MMR, invariant to scale, rotation, translation, which forms typical challenges of the application domain. In this paper we propose a novel approach to SIFT based vehicle MMR in which SIFT features are initially investigated for their relevance in representing the uniqueness of the make and model of a given vehicle class based on Adaptive Boosting. We provide experimental results to show that the proposed selection of SIFT features significantly reduces the computational cost associated with classification at negligible loss of the system accuracy. We further prove that the use of more appropriate feature matching algorithms enable significant gains in the accuracy of the algorithm. Experimental results prove that a 91% accuracy rate has been achieved on a publically available database of car frontal views.
