چکیده

This paper describes an algorithm to estimate realtime vehicle velocity using image processing technique from the known camera calibration parameters. The presented algorithm involves several main steps. First, the moving object is extracted by utilizing frame differencing technique. Second, the object tracking method is applied and the speed is estimated based on the displacement of the object’s centroid. Several assumptions are listed to simplify the transformation of 2D images from 3D real-world images. The results obtained from the experiment have been compared to the estimated ground truth. From this experiment, it exhibits that the proposed algorithm has achieved the velocity accuracy estimation of about ± 1.7 km/h. Keywords—camera calibration; object tracking; velocity estimation; video image processing

The Development of Maximum Likelihood Estimation Approaches for Adaptive Estimation of Free Speed and Critical Density in Vehicle Freeways

The performance of many traffic control strategies depends on how much the traffic flow models have been accurately calibrated. One of the most applicable traffic flow model in traffic control and management is LWR or METANET model. Practically, key parameters in LWR model, including free flow speed and critical density, are parameterized using flow and speed measurements gathered by inductive ...

Multiagent based interpolation system for traffic condition by estimation/learning

We propose a multiagent based interpolation system for traffic conditions that includes estimation and learning agents. These agents are allocated to all the road links. The Normalized Velocity (NV) is used in this system. Estimation agents renew the NV for each road link, and learning agents renew the weight values for estimation. The weight values can be calculated by multivariate analysis. E...
