People detection using conventional cameras has received massive attention for video surveillance inside public transportation systems but inattentive towards bicycle detection. Experimentation is performed on You Only Look Once (YOLO), Faster Regional-Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) and Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD). Due to the sparse availability of dataset for this work, a customized dataset was recorded in the Media Computing lab, Junior Professorship of Media Computing, TU Chemnitz, Germany. The customized dataset was recorded using a wide-angle smart stereo sensor (S2000, Intenta GmbH) mounted in bird’s eye perspective. Furthermore, two additional datasets were recorded using a mobile camera representing indoor and outdoor bicycle parking area. This paper provides best case solution for bicycle detection from a top view perspective.enYOLOFaster R-CNNSSD1614-3213
