A ROBUST VIDEO-BASED BICYCLE COUNTING SYSTEM
S. Rogers, Nikolaos P. Papanikolopoulos · 1999
This paper describes a system for counting bicycle activity in sequences of gray scale images acquired by a stationary camera. The system is suitable for use in applications that aim to increase the efficiency and safety of existing traffic systems. One such application is to determine usage and congestion of bike paths. The output of the system is a count of the number of bicycles detected in the image sequence. The system was implemented on a dual Pentium computer equipped with a Matrox imaging board and achieved a peak performance of 8 frames per second. Experimental results based on outdoor scenes have shown promising results for a multitude of weather conditions
