An Efficient Machine Learning Prediction Method for Vehicle Detection: Data Analytics Framework

The availability of transportation is considered a significant hallmark of a developed society. Since the evolution of the human species, the imperative to relocate from one location to another has been a fundamental requirement. At present, there exists a plethora of transportation options in Indonesia. However, most individuals favor road transportation due to its ease and convenience. The rise in population has led to a corresponding increase in the number of vehicles on the roadways. Hence, it presents a challenge for security authorities and governmental bodies to oversee all automobiles' mobility across various locations effectively. The present study proposes a methodology for detecting and tracking vehicles using video-based techniques. The process's initial stages involve preprocessing, including frame conversion and background subtraction. Next, the process of detecting vehicles involves the utilization of change detection and a model of body shape. Subsequently, the next stage entails the feature extraction process, focusing on extracting energy features and directional cosine. Subsequently, a technique for optimizing data is employed on the vector comprising excessively extracted features. The methodology integrates a data mining technique based on association rules, which is subsequently complemented by a random forest classification algorithm. The approach generally integrates multiple methodologies to attain effective and precise identification of automobiles in video-derived datasets.
