Perform a Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) feature extraction on a labeled training set of images and train a classifier Linear SVM classifier Optionally, you can also apply a color transform and append binned color features, as well as histograms of color, to your HOG feature vector. Note: for those first two steps don't forget to normalize your features and randomize a selection for training and testing.
- png image read using matlib was scaled to 0-255
- the data provided was split int 80 % training data and 20 % testing data
- got an accuracy of 96-97 %
Implement a sliding-window technique and use your trained classifier to search for vehicles in images.
created boxes with 2 different widows and different overlaps. ![image](./data/boxes/boxes copy 3.jpg)
Run your pipeline on a video stream (start with the test_video.mp4 and later implement on full project_video.mp4) and create a heat map of recurring detections frame by frame to reject outliers and follow detected vehicles. Estimate a bounding box for vehicles detected.
