A rather old paper about a feature-based tracking system.
Does not track entire vehicles, but vehicle features which are grouped together to vehicles based on common motion constraint after the features exit the tracking region. The tracking is said to be robust to partial occlusions and lighting changes.
Focuses on tracking vehicles on a singe road. Uses offline camera calibration: the user has to specify line correspondences for a projective mapping, or homography, detection regions, stationary points for camera stabilization. The tracking module uses Kalman filtering.
Testings showed promising results.
