GoodVision Video Insights can classify traffic objects (vehicles and non-motorized units) into 8 distinct classes. Every traffic video, no matter if it's a road scene or a pedestrian zone, will be processed with this full classification set on the output. GoodVision provides you with mapping from all standard vehicle categories (UK Scheme (COBA), US FHWA, TLS) to GoodVision classification scheme and vice versa.

Our current classification scheme contains the following 8 classes. If you cannot find the class you are looking for, see what we can do for you at the end of this article.

Cars, taxis and all passenger-carrying vehicles, including those that pull light trailers, sedans, coupes, station wagons, SUVs, limousines, etc.

Relevant COBA class - Light Goods Vehicle (LGV)

Relevant FHWA class - Other Two-Axle Four-Tire Single-Unit Vehicles; Two-Axle, Six-Tire, Single-Unit Trucks

​4. HEAVY TRUCK
All articulated trucks and rigid vehicles with four or more axles over 3.5t including those towing a trailer or semi-trailer. Please take into account that the HEAVY TRUCK class may not be included in the output classification scheme when selecting Drone Camera Processing for your videos, depending on the camera height and angle. Generally heavy trucks are recognized as a particular class in lower heights until 50m above the ground and with a tilt camera angle.

Relevant COBA class - Other Goods Vehicle (OGV-2)

Relevant FHWA class - Four or More Axle Single-Unit Trucks; Four or Fewer Axle Single-Trailer Trucks; Five-Axle Single-Trailer Trucks; Six or More Axle Single-Trailer Trucks; Five or Fewer Axle Multi-Trailer Trucks; Six-Axle Multi-Trailer Trucks; Seven or More Axle Multi-Trailer Trucks

Relevant SWISS10 class - HGV > 3.5t; HGV > 3.5 t with trailer; HGV > 3.5 t with semi-trailer, articulated truck

Relevant TLS 8+1 class- HGV > 3.5t; HGV > 3.5 t with trailer; Articulated truck

Please take into account that the PERSON class is included in the output classification scheme when selecting either the Traffic camera or Low drone camera processing option for your videos. PERSON class is not available by High drone processing as from high heights, it would be inaccurate to track pedestrians as smallest traffic objects through the scene.

GoodVision recognizes individual vehicle categories by their appearance on the scene, using our advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. Classification is not limited by the camera view, by the size of the vehicles or if the vehicles are in motion or not. Our classification scheme is constantly enlarged as we are training our system for new vehicle classes.

In addition to a standard COBA 8 vehicle classification scheme, you now can create new vehicle classes, merge classes into one, or customize your own, i.e., regional scheme right in the app. Your custom classification scheme will automatically reflect into all your reports and analytical dashboards.

GoodVision accepts your requests to add additional vehicle classes to our standard set. Let us know your story and requirements. Contact us at sales@goodvisionlive.com.
