Vehicle Detection and Tracking using Gaussian Mixture Model and Kalman Filter

Intelligent Transport System (ITS) is a method used in traffic arrangements to make efficient road transport system. One of the ITS application is the detection and tracking of vehicle objects. In this research, Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) method was applied for vehicle detection and Kalman Filter method was applied for object tracking. The data used are vehicles video under two different conditions. First condition is light traffic and second condition is heavy traffic. Validation of detection system is conducted using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis. The result of this research shows that the light traffic condition gets 100% for the precision value, 94.44% for sensitivity, 100% for specificity, and 97.22% for accuracy. While the heavy traffic condition gets 75.79% for the precision value, 88.89% for sensitivity, 70.37% for specificity, and 79.63% for accuracy. With avarage consistency of Kalman Filter for object tracking is 100%.
