Abstract
Vehicle counting from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is becoming a popular research topic in traffic monitoring. Camera mounted on UAV can be regarded as a visual sensor for collecting aerial videos. Compared with traditional sensors, the UAV can be flexibly deployed to the areas that need to be monitored and can provide a larger perspective. In this paper, a novel framework for vehicle counting based on aerial videos is proposed. In our framework, the moving-object detector can handle the following two situations: static background and moving background. For static background, a pixel-level video foreground detector is given to detect vehicles, which can update background model continuously. For moving background, image-registration is employed to estimate the camera motion, which allows the vehicles to be detected in a reference coordinate system. In addition, to overcome the change of scale and shape of vehicle in images, we employ an online-learning tracker which can update the samples used for training. Finally, we design a multi-object management module which can efficiently analyze and validate the status of the tracked vehicles with multi-threading technique. Our method was tested on aerial videos of real highway scenes that contain fixed-background and moving-background. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve more than 90% and 85% accuracy of vehicle counting in fixed-background videos and moving-background videos respectively.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
