Design of a Cost Effective Real-Time Vehicle Detector System Architecture

Vehicle detector system based on image processing technology is a significant domain of ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) Applications. Because it has advantages of low installation cost and does not obstruct traffic during the installation of vehicle detection systems on the road. In this paper, we propose architecture for vehicle detection by using image processing. The architecture consists of two main parts: image processing part, using high speed FPGA: decision and calculation part, using CPU. The CPU part takes charge of total system control and synthetic decision of vehicle detection. The part of FPGA takes charge of input and output image using video encoder and decoder, image classification and image memory control.
