چکیده

This paper presents an automatic traffic surveillance system to estimate important traffic parameters from video sequences using only one camera. Different from traditional methods which classify vehicles into only cars and non-cars, the proposed method has a good capability to categorize cars into more specific classes with a new “linearity” feature. In addition, in order to reduce occlusions of vehicles, an automatic scheme of detecting lane dividing lines is proposed. With the found lane dividing lines, not only occlusions of vehicles can be reduced but also a normalization scheme can be developed for tackling the problems of feature size variations. Once all vehicle features are extracted, an optimal classifier is then designed to robustly categorize vehicles into different classes even though shadows, occlusions, and other noise exist. The designed classifier can collect different evidences from the database and the verified vehicle itself to make better decisions and thus much enhance the robustness and accuracy of classification. Experimental results show that the proposed method is much robust and powerful than other traditional methods.

An automatic traffic surveillance system for tracking and classifying vehicles

This paper presents an automatic traffic surveillance system for tracking and classification vehicles in traffic video sequences. In order to detect moving objects from a dynamic background scene, which may have temporal clutters, we devised an adaptive background update method and a motion classification rule. A two-dimensional tokenbased tracking system using a Kalman filter is designed to tr...

An Automated Vehicle Counting System Based on Blob Analysis for Traffic Surveillance

Robust and reliable traffic surveillance system is an urgent need to improve traffic control and management. Vehicle flow detection appears to be an important part in surveillance system. The traffic flow shows the traffic state in fixed time interval and helps to manage and control especially when there’s a traffic jam. In this paper, we propose a traffic surveillance system for vehicle counti...
