Abstract

The Line Monitoring Algorithm (LMA) has demonstrated remarkable efficiency in motion detection for specific line areas in driving test supervision. However, its limitation lies in detecting only whether a line is crossed without providing contextual information about what crossed the line or which vehicle part was involved. This paper proposes a novel hybrid framework that integrates the computational efficiency of LMA with the contextual understanding of deep learning-based object detection. Our approach uses LMA as a high-efficiency trigger mechanism to activate a lightweight YOLO-based object detector only when line crossing events occur. This architecture maintains the real-time performance of LMA while gaining rich contextual awareness. Experimental results on driving test videos show that our hybrid system achieves 96.8% accuracy in line crossing detection while reducing false positives by 73% compared to standalone LMA, with only an 8% decrease in frame processing rate. The system successfully identifies specific vehicle components (tires, body) involved in boundary violations, providing comprehensive evaluation metrics for driving test assessment.
