The document discusses a robust vehicle detection and tracking system utilizing rear lamps and license plates to enhance intelligent transport systems, particularly in India's smart city initiative. The proposed method employs a combination of color space conversion, Kalman filtering, and Markov models for precise tracking even under challenging conditions such as occlusion and varying weather. Results demonstrate successful vehicle tracking with a mean error of approximately 11.40 pixels, showcasing the effectiveness of the algorithm in real-time applications.
