Vehicle Brand Detection Using Deep Learning Algorithms

Today, information technologies are used in almost every stage of life. It seeks to find solutions too many issues and problems. Image processing applications have been widely used in many areas in recent years and are trying to solve problems. Many applications which perform tasks such as classification, counting, measurement, target tracking have been developed. The aim of this study is to provide a solution for different applications using an effective and cost-effective method to detect the brand and model of vehicles. A classification method is implemented using deep neural network in the determination of the vehicle brand. The proposed solution is tested on various images taken from different angles and obtained from different sources. Faster-RCNN method which is one of deep neural networks is used to brand detection of vehicles in this study. It is observed that Faster-RCNN method performs 67.66% classification accuracy.
