Vehicles Counter

This Octave/Matlab script first learns how to recognize cars using neural networks then detects and counts them on live stream.

• Classification method: neural network with 1 hidden layer
• Optimization : Backpropagation

Note

• Written only for educational purposes
• Intentionally written in pure Matlab language, using only elementary arithmetic operations:

Input (snapshot)
