Abstract

CCTV is one of the tools that can be used to extract the needed traffic Information. Extracted information from image sequences of CCTV can give us real information about the number of passing vehicles and vehicles speed. In this paper we propose a new method in detecting the number of vehicles and vehicle speed measurement in low light conditions. Headlight detection is used in order to identify the existing vehicle. There are few steps in order to extract the information from CCTV. First for vehicle headlight detection, the vehicles are detected with normalized cross-correlation method and centroid-area-difference. The second step is vehicle tracking. Headlight is used to track the movements of the vehicle. The third step is vehicle counting and vehicle speed measurement; pin-hole and euclidean distance methods are used to estimate the vehicle speed. We have compared the vehicle detection algorithm and vehicle counting-speed measurement. The result shows that the normalized cross correlation method has a higher accuracy than area-centroid difference. The pinhole model also is better in estimating vehicle speed compared to euclidean distance.
