VEHICLE DETECTOR FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM USING IMAGE PROCESSING
Haruki Furusawa, Hirokazu Taniguchi, M Makino · 1994
A new vehicle detector using CCTV cameras is described. For gathering traffic control information, instead of conventional ultra-sonic vehicle counters or magnetic loop coil sensors, the researchers have developed a new type of vehicle detector using a robust pattern recognition algorithm named Directional Temporal plane Transform method (DTT), and have also developed a dedicated designed hardware to process real-time traffic flow measurement. In this report, the researchers propose a new vehicle detector, and demonstrate field test results using the proposed vehicle detector, including its incident detection function.
