Abstract :
A fully automatic vision-based technique to extract traffic data from scenes of roadway is proposed. This involves the application of a scene analysis technique to find, identify and determine the coordinates of moving vehicles and pedestrians in each frame. The coordinates/time data are translated into a number of traffic flow parameters. A number of detection and tracking algorithms are implemented in the OCCAM language to run on a transputer-image processing system. The application of the MAT-transform as an aid for vehicle classification is investigated. The initial results are discussed
