In computer vision-based Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), one of the key techniques is to detect the vehicles accurately. In this paper, we propose a background extraction and vehicle detection method based on histogram in YCbCr color space. By using YCbCr color space, the influence of illumination change and shadows is reduced. To solve the problem with change in background itself, we propose a background update method by using the pixel change count and histogram. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively extract and update the background information in complicated urban traffic environment. It also improves the accuracy of vehicle detection.
