INTRODUCTION
Variations of parameters in real world traffic.
Aim-To measure queue parameters accurately.
Algorithm operations:

Vehicle detection & motion

detection.
Motion detection -applying a differencing technique
on the
profiles of the images along the
road.
Vehicle detection-applying edge detection on the
profiles.

NEED FOR PROCESSING OF

TRAFFIC DATA
To calculate the speed of the vehicle.
Traffic management.
Road safety.
Development of transport policy.

TRAFFIC PARAMETERS
MEASURABLE
Traffic volumes.
Speed.
Headways.
Inter-vehicle gaps.
Vehicle classification..
Origin and destination of traffic.
Junction turning.

IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW METHOD

TWO PROPOSED METHODS

Analyze data in real time

- This seems to be uneconomical.

Stores all data and analyses off-line at low speed

- Pipelining preprocessing will help for this

implementation.

QUEUE DETECTION ALGORITHM

Our approach is to use spatial-domain

technique

For this domain we have two algorithms

- Motion detection operation
- Vehicle detection operation

FRAME1

FRAME2

MEDIAN FILTER

PROFILE0

PROFILE1

Dif = Profile 1-Profile 0

NO (NO MOTION)

YES (MOTION)
Dif<TH

METHOD OF MOTION DETECTION

Differencing two consecutive frames .
Select a key region which should be 3x3 pixel

wide profile of the image along the road .

Median filter is applied to key to extract a 1
pixel wide of the profile.
Make a best comparison b/w the histogramic
value of key and the threshold value.
Diff>threshold value= yes motion.
Diff<threshold value=no motion.

VEHICLE DETECTION OPERATION

Past algorithms are based on back ground

differencing
Here we are using edge detection applicable for full frames
Edge detectors consists of seperable
medium filtering and morphological operators
Histogram of each sub-profile is processed

by selecting a threshold value

SELECTION OF
THRESHOLD VALUE
No. of

edge points >left limit grey value is

obtained for a number (200) of frames
Using this create a histogram
Histogram is smoothed using median filter to
only 2 peak points
ex (20&60)
One peak for frames passing the vehicle &
other for having no vehicle
Select a threshold value

TRAFFIC MOVEMENT AT
JUNCTIONS
Previous methods based on full frame approach-

more computation power

We use
- key region method
1) Cover the boundary of the junction by
polygen
2) Polygen should not cover the pedestrain
cross
Define minimum no. of key inside the polygen
To detect vehicle entering and exiting the junction
based on FIFO METHOD

 A status vector is created by application of V.D. on

each profile
If veh is detected 1 is inserted on its status vector
Else 0 is inserted

CONCLUSION
Vehicle detection is used only when it is

necessary.
Selection of threshold is done dynamically.
Queue length measurement shows 95%

accuracy at the maximum .

Error when object is far from camera can be

reduced by reducing the size of the sub-profile.
