In this paper, we discuss the problem of the road vehicles detection based on video sequence images. In order to eliminate the effects of vehicle's self-shadow in nature lights, we present a novel method which combines the region-based algorithm with the pixel-based algorithm, based on multi-feature fusion to get rid of shadow regions. The dissertation demonstrates the advantages of the proposed algorithm...
This paper propose a method for automatic vehicle detection in QuickBird images of small highways, with relatively low traffic density, frequent occurrence of tree shadows, and changes in illumination conditions. The vehicle detection is based on an elliptical Laplacian of Gaussian scale space methodology, where the vehicle locations are detected at local extrema in the image response to convolution...
This paper has proposed an application of 2D principal component analysis (2DPCA) and genetic algorithm (GA) for vehicle detection from CCTV captured image. The system deploys a 2DPCA algorithm for feature extraction of vehicle within gray scale images. These vehicle feature matrices of size 50×20 are trained and then classified by using genetic algorithm. This system can detect different vehicle...
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...
In this paper, we propose a simple and effective method to extend digital maps with the location and timing of stop-signs and traffic lights in a city, given GPS traces collected by on-road vehicles. Our system finds the location and timing of traffic lights and stop-signs using a small number of traces per road segment. We developed and evaluated the system by applying it to two sets of GPS traces...
Vehicle acoustic signals have long been considered as significant source in sensor networks for classification. In this research acoustic signals generated by each vehicle will be used to detect its presence and classify the type. Vehicle acoustic signal segmentation is important for continuous signal recognition because it reduces the search space effectively in vehicle's signal recognition. However,...
Every year, traffic congestion and traffic accidents have been rapidly increasing in proportion to increasing number of vehicles. Although the roadway design and signal system have been improved to relieve traffic congestion, traffic casualties and property damage do not decrease. The traffic accident is a serious issue of society because vehicle is a primary means of transportation. This paper develops...
In order to reduce accident at traffic intersections during day and night, the algorithm of traffic lights detection which is applied in a vehicle driver assistance system is designed by using the image processing technology. The system of traffic light detection includes three parts: a CCD camera, an image acquisition card, and a PC. Based on RGB color space, the algorithm extracts red, green, and...
This paper proposes a method for detecting vehicles in urban traffic. The proposed method extracts vehicle candidates using AdaBoost. The candidate extraction process was speeded up further, exploiting inverse perspective transform matrix. Then the vehicle candidates were verified by the existence of vertical and horizontal edges. The detected vehicle regions were corrected by the vertical edges and...
In this paper, we propose a multi-step algorithm for curved lane detection. We represent the lane markings on the road by a modified hyperbola-pair model, which contains two parts. The first one is a parallel straight line model, which is achieved by Hough transform. The second one is a hyperbola-pair line model, which is achieved by a searching strategy with the parameters got in the first stage...
In a vehicle license plate identification system, locating the license plate in the image or video of a vehicle is an important step before final recognition. In the proposed method care has been taken up to extract license plate of motorcycle (size of plate is small and double row plate), car (single as well as double row type), transport vehicle such as bus, truck, dirty plates as well as multiple...
This paper presents a new real time lane detection and tracking system which succeeds in sharp curved roads. The Warp Perspective Mapping (WPM) method was used to change the video image perspective to top view. A two dimensional Gabor filter and vertical pixel density calculation method was used to find initial lane regions. Second derivative approach of Composite Bezier spline fitting method calculates...

We find that the feature plane of the vehicle's front surface shifts in accordance with the affine transform. We perform experiments and evaluate performances of our system. As results,...
The localization of intelligent vehicle is an important research topic in the field of intelligent transportation systems.

This paper describes an approach for lane segmentation in traffic monitoring systems based on probability map extracted form vehicles movement information. In traffic monitoring system, the region that a vehicle passes through might belong to a certain lane. The more vehicles pass through a certain region, the more likely it belongs to a certain lane, and then we can get probability map of the lane...
