Enhanced Vehicle Movement Counting at Intersections via a Self-Learning Fisheye Camera System
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Accurate vehicle counting at intersections is crucial for assessing traffic flow and gaining insights into vehicle trajectories captured by traffic cameras. This paper introduces an innovative framework that leverages a fisheye camera system to count vehicle movements at intersections with two significant contributions: First, the proposed algorithm employs a novel zone-based counting methodology to categorize and collect trajectory data and autonomously learn movement patterns with the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm at intersections. Second, as the algorithm becomes proficient in recognizing the paths traversed by vehicles, it seamlessly transitions into a hybrid mode, integrating both zone-based and path-based counting techniques. It enables accurate vehicle counting even in challenging scenarios involving broken tracks or partial trajectories. The performance of the proposed method is accessed by conducting experiments on three real-world fisheye camera footage datasets. The results demonstrate the efficacy of our novel approach, achieving an impressive F1 score exceeding 98% across all tested intersections, underscoring its potential for real-world applications in traffic management.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
