Abstract

Given vehicle images, we suggest a way to recognize the color of the vehicle contained in the image. The color feature of a vehicle is represented by a color histogram, and we decide the appropriate number of color histogram bins, which mainly affects the successful recognition rate. After generating the histograms, template matching is used to decide the vehicle color. In HSI (hue saturation intensity) color space, experimental results show that the partition of H, S, and I into 8, 4, 4, respectively, achieves the highest success rate up to 88.34%.
