Vehicle license plate identification system is an image-processing technology used to identify vehicles by their license plates. This technology is used in various security and traffic applications. This data is also used for enforcement, data collection, and can be used to keep a time record on the entry or exit of vehicles for automatic payment calculations. The significant advantage of this system...
Road detection is the most fundamental part of autonomous vehicles. Noises caused by shadows and vehicles on the road have a great negative impact on the road detection. Our method improves the performance under the noisy environment by taking advantage of color information to determine the road curvature. A novel geometrical method is proposed in this paper to select the most matched curvature. A...
The design of traffic sign recognition (TSR) system, one important subsystem of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), has been a challenge practical problem for many years due to the complex issues like road environments, lighting conditions, occlusion, and so on. In this paper, we introduce a new TSR system, whose effectiveness has been tested through extensive experiments. The established TSR...
The vehicle shadow's detection and elimination work basically for extracting and tracking the vehicle characteristics, and it also plays a very important role in highway video surveillance and incident detection, affecting the post-processing of video image directly, such as vehicle tracking and speed measurement. On study of Kimmel variational and multi-scale Retinex algorithm to eliminate the vehicle...
This paper addresses an important issue - automatic road traffic signs detection and recognition in natural scenes, which is accomplished in the three following stages: interest points detection, clustering of those points and similarity search. At the first stage, good discriminative, rotation and scale invariant interest points are selected from the image edges based on the 1-D empirical mode decomposition...
This paper proposes a real-time traffic sign detection system. In order to extract accurately the shape feature of the traffic sign, reduce the computational load and further improve the traffic sign detection rate, a novel approach based on surround suppression of texture edges and cascade detector is presented. The principle of surround suppression mainly adds a computational step to the canny edge...
Road sign identification in images is an important issue, in particular for vehicle safety applications. It is usually tackled in three stages: detection, recognition and tracking, and evaluated as a whole. To progress towards better algorithms, we focus in this paper on the first stage of the process, namely road sign detection. More specifically, we compare, on the same ground-truth image database,...
Traffic flow, analysis and control is gaining high relevance, as the number of circulating vehicles continuously increases. This article proposes a computer vision based platform, which automatically detects vehicles in order to infer the traffic conditions. The developed real time detection algorithm is based on a dual background subtraction technique, incorporating the one known has Codebook and...
Lane detection can provide important information for safety driving. In this paper, a real time vision-based lane detection method is presented to find the position and type of lanes in each video frame. In the proposed lane detection method, lane hypothesis is generated and verified based on an effective combination of lane-mark edge-link features. First, lane-mark candidates are searched inside...
This paper presents a fast algorithm to detect the road lines and the road edges of structured and unstructured roads, respectively. In structured road detection, we firstly utilize vertical Sobel mask and color characteristic to detect the points of road lines. If the number of points is greater than a predefined threshold, we refine the detection results with slope filtering. And the least square...
Automatic number plate recognition is a real time embedded system which automatically recognizes the license number of vehicles. Such systems require the localization of number plate area in order to identify the characters present on it. This paper presents a feature based methodology for localization of Indian number plates. Since number plate standards are not strictly practiced in India, a large...
Nowadays roads and streets are getting overcrowded, especially in bigger cities. Hence the main goal of our project is to build a traffic monitoring system which is able to detect the movement of cars and to track and count the different vehicles by analyzing a camera picture with the help of computer vision. The real-time process (15-30 fps) of the video stream works at daylight. The traffic monitoring...
Based on the sharing features of a variety of license plates (LP), the vertical edge was first detected by Sobel edge detector. Then, some approaches were adopted to remove the invalid edge regarding the characteristics of edge grayscale jump and edge density, so that the regions having features of LP were preserved. Next, by horizontal and vertical projections and mathematical morphology (MM) operation,...
In view of complex background the license plate image which photographs under the different illumination condition, in this research, we proposes one in administrative levels fast localization method. This method use license plate geometry characteristic, textural property as well as color characteristic. Firstly we take a much more quicker interleaved method of sampling according to the gray texture...
Based on the sharing features of a variety of license plates (LP), the vertical edge was first detected by sobel color edge detector. Then, some approaches were adopted to adaptively remove the invalid edge regarding the characteristics of edge grayscale jump and edge density, so that the regions having features of LP were preserved. Next, by edge density template matching and the mean and variance...
This paper presents a contour-based approach to separate vertically attached traffic signs. The algorithm is based on using binary images which are generated by any color segmentation algorithm to represent objects which could be candidate traffic signs. Since all traffic signs are similar about their vertical axis, an improved cross-correlation algorithm is invoked to determine this similarity and...
License plate detection plays an important role in license plate recognition (LPR) system. If license plate can be detected exactly, the character segmentation and recognition can be implemented more precisely and efficiently. In our observation, the illumination affects the result of detecting the license plate. The aim of this paper is to extract more than one license plate from an image and to...
