Nighttime traffic surveillance is difficult due to insufficient and unstable appearance information and strong background interference. We present in this paper a robust nighttime vehicle detection system by detecting, tracking, and grouping headlights. First, we train AdaBoost classifiers for headlights detection to reduce false alarms caused by reflections. Second, to take full advantage of the complementary nature of grouping and tracking, we alternately optimize grouping and tracking. For grouping, motion features produced by tracking are used by headlights pairing. We use a maximal independent set framework for effective pairing, which is more robust than traditional pairing-by-rules methods. For tracking, context information provided by pairing is employed by multiple object tracking. The experiments on challenging datasets and quantitative evaluation show promising performance of our method.
