hi, I wrote this codes to detect vehicles inside each frame in the video. Now I want to count them but I don't know how to do it. Could you show me how, please?

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>
#include <opencv2/objdetect/objdetect.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

int main(){

    VideoCapture cap("arabalar2.avi"); // open the video file for reading

    if ( !cap.isOpened() )  // if not success, exit program
    {
         cout << "Cannot open the video file" << endl;
         return -1;
    }

    Mat gray;

    string cascade_file= "C:/Cascades/haarcascades/cars.xml";
    CascadeClassifier cascade;

    if (cascade_file.empty() || !cascade.load(cascade_file))
    {
        cout << "Hata: cascade dosyası bulunamadı!n";
        return -1;
    }

    namedWindow("MyVideo",CV_WINDOW_NORMAL);  

    while(1){

        Mat frame;

        bool bSuccess = cap.read(frame); // read a new frame from video

         if (!bSuccess) //if not success, break loop
         {
              cout << "Cannot read the frame from video file" << endl;
              break;
         }

        cvtColor(frame, gray, CV_BGR2GRAY);
        equalizeHist(gray, gray);
        vector<Rect> cars;

        cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, cars, 1.1, 3, CV_HAAR_DO_CANNY_PRUNING|CV_HAAR_SCALE_IMAGE, Size(30,30));

        for (int i = 0; i < cars.size(); i++) // draw a rectangle for dedected vehicles
        {
            Rect rect = cars[i];
            rectangle(frame, rect, CV_RGB(0,255,0), 1);
        }

        imshow("MyVideo", frame);

        if(waitKey(30) == 27) //wait for 'esc' key press for 30 ms. If 'esc' key is pressed, break loop
        {
                cout << "esc key is pressed by user" << endl; 
                break; 
        }

    }
    return 0;
}

I just want to say that I am going to follow your project closely. I was interested in detecting vehicles in front of my house (too much heavy load traffic). I literally just tweeted asking for ideas. https://twitter.com/rinnamon/status/6...

Are you planning only on counting vehicles or do you plan on looking at direction of travel as well? Ideally, I'd want to have a way of distinguishing cars from buses and semi-trucks, sense direction of travel, and count the number of vehicles to get AADT.
I am just so stoked that someone else is thinking about this. Has car detection using OpenCV already been done before or is this new ground?

@rubenk I don't want to be cruel but... if you really think that car detection might be a new thing in computer vision, and if you're really surprised that someone else is trying to achieve the same task, then you clearly know very little about the state-of-the-art. Start by getting a grasp of what is going on out there, reading papers and easy implementations

You have done it yourself. Because you are using the minNeighbors parameter, the cascade is doing a groupRectangles, so the size of the rectangles vector is the number of detections. All you need to do is to print it somewhere:

std::cout << "Found " << cars.size() << " cars" << std::endl;

or display it in the frame using cv::putText:

std::ostringstream str;
str << "Found cars: " << cars.size();
cv::putText(image, cv::Point(10,30), str.str(), CV_FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN, CV_RGB(0,0,250));

thanks for respond, ı added this two line num_of_vehicle+=cars.size();cout << "Found " <<num_of_vehicle&lt;&lt; "="" cars"="" &lt;<endl;<="" strong=""> and ı make number of car counted but this line does not give true vehicle number because cascade can perceive the same car several times until that car vanish on the screen
