Development of Car Type Classification Algorithm on the UAV platform using NCC

This paper describes the algorithm recognizing car type from the image received from UAV and the recognition results between three types of car images. Using the NCC(Normalized Cross-Correlation) algorithm, geometric information is matched from template images. Template images are obtained from UAV and satellite map and indoor experiment is performed using satellite map. After verification of the possibility, experiment for verification of same car type recognition is performed using small UAV. In the experiment, same type cars are matched with 0.6 point similarity and truck with similar color distribution is not matched with template image of a sedan.
