Popis: Vehicle headlights are the important objects especially in the application of night-time traffic surveillance. A common problem of this task is the similarity between the headlights and their reflections on the road. This paper proposes a novel algorithm to construct 3D motion trajectories of headlights and their reflections on the road using both spatial and temporal information. 3D structure tensors are utilized as shape features for recognizing the headlights in various traffic views. Experimental results show that the proposed method performs better than traditional approaches (about 10 $$\%$$) in terms of the F1 score.
