Show HN: Open-sourced (road) traffic counting application
I was developing/selling this application under Roadometry, but
sales are getting slow and I'd prefer to make it available for
free. This is a desktop Windows application which can be used for
counting road traffic. https://roadometry.com
https://www.youtube.com/@roadometry2011 The application uses
Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) combined with Darknet Yolo. I
trained the network myself. I have a tool-chain for building a
video-based training set including associations, but it's quite
complex to use. I never ended up training a network to perform
association, but I think a combined detector/associator network is
the next step.

| Repentance for using MHT to accelerate vehicle interconnectedness

| Audi vehicles with 802.11p V2I capabilities have an information
| sharing agreement with Traffic Technology Services in certain
| municipalities that alert a driver of a vehicle when a red light
| will turn green.
