A distributed vision system for boat traffic monitoring in the venice grand canal
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a system for boat traffic monitoring that has been realized for analyzing and computing statistics of trafic in the Grand Canal in Venice. The system is based on a set of survey cells to monitor about 6 Km of canal. Each survey cell contains three cameras oriented in three directions and covering about 250-300 meters of the canal. This paper presents the segmentation and tracking phases that are used to detect and track boats in the channel and experimental evaluation of the system showing the effectiveness of the approach in the required tasks.

متن کاملThe Design of a New Freight Distribution System in Venice
This paper examines the reorganization of freight transportation in the city of Venice, Italy. Most of the freight arrives from the mainland by trucks, but must be carried to the final customers by boats, through a network of small canals. The existence of constraints, related to the widths and clearances of the canals, makes it necessary to use boats of different sizes and capacities. In this ...
متن کاملMethod of Video-Measurements of Traffic Flow Characteristics at a Road Junction
In the theory of traffic flows the main characteristics are: intensity, speed, and density. They make it possible to use hydrodynamic models. In connection with the development of modern highways and road networks, traffic flows behavior is becoming more and more complex and diverse. In particular, the B.Kerner studies have shown that the laminar solution of hydrodynamic models is poorly corre...
