AI method clusters public transport vehicles using deep features and color

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new unsupervised method for clustering public transport vehicles using a combination of deep morphological features and color histograms. This approach leverages a frozen DINOv2 Vision Transformer for feature extraction and HSV color histograms, which are then fused and projected using UMAP before being clustered with K-Means. The methodology was tested on over 7,000 images from Mexico City, successfully identifying distinct bus routes and vehicle types without manual annotation. AI

IMPACT This unsupervised clustering method could improve the efficiency of public transport monitoring and management systems.

    Unsupervised Clustering of Public Transport Vehicles Using Deep Morphological Features and Color Histograms

    arXiv:2610.22270v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Surveillance cameras along urban roads produce large volumes of unlabeled video that could support the monitoring of public transport, but grouping the observed vehicles into meaningful categories without manual annotation remains c…
