DEPLOYMENT OF THE NEXT GENERATION MACHINE VISION TECHNOLOGY AND INTEGRATION WITH SCOOT IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS
Durga P. Panda · 1998
Whereas virtually all the deployed and operational machine vision sensors are multi-camera units, there are potential applications where multiple cameras are not needed. Examples in which multi-camera units may not be appropriate are downtown intersections of one-way streets, work zone monitoring, data collection, and arterial status monitoring. A new class of machine vision sensors is emerging to fill this need. This new sensor integrates the camera optics with an image processor to offer a compact single-camera package. This new technology is currently being deployed in downtown Minneapolis. The deployment is a part of the Adaptive Urban Signal Control and Integration operational test of adaptive control sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration.
