Abstract

The importance of real-time vehicle classification, counting, and speed estimation systems based on YOLOv8n is an important tool for monitoring traffic flow on highways. However, because they are distinct objects from their surroundings, it is still difficult to detect them, which has an impact on how accurate vehicle counts are. To tackle this concern, this paper suggests the implementation of a vision-centric system for real-time vehicle monitoring and identification. The approach involves utilizing a You Only Look Once (YOLOv8n)-based Deep SORT model to detect, count, and estimate the speed of vehicles from video clips. Additionally, the integration of a Deep SORT algorithm, based on deep learning, enhances the accuracy of tracking the actual presence of vehicles in video frames predicted by YOLOv8n. Two processes are involved in vehicle counting: first, the recorded video is fed into a deep learning framework based on You Only Look Once (YOLO) to identify, count, and classify each vehicle. Multi-vehicular tracking is adopted using Deep Sort to enhance the tracking performance by associating detected vehicles across frames, ensuring reliable tracking in crowded and dynamic environments.
