We constructed a vehicle detection operator by combining four elongated edge operators designed to collect edge responses from the sides of a vehicle. We derived the detection and localization performance of this algorithm, and verified them by experiments. Performance degradation due to different camera angles and illuminations was also examined using simulated images. Another important aspect of performance characterization — whether and how much prior information about the scene improves performance — was also investigated. As a statistical diagnostic tool for the detection performance, a computational approach employing bootstrap was used.
