Abstract: |
Fast
development of cities and increasing number of cars cause that metropolises
need to improve their monitoring system. This paper presents the system which gathers information about traffic and help to
monitor and model it. It is not as expensive as current solutions, because it
is built on existing infrastructure and low-cost devices. The basic part of
this system is a smart phone, on which application is implemented. It
contains capturing device and processing unit, as a
result it returns information about traffic. Information among other things
includes time of the appearance, type of a car and its speed. Image analysis
(processing) consist of pre-processing (geometry
reconstruction and denoising), classification (geo-
metrical methods), object detection and tracking algorithm, which based
mostly on calculating gradient. Thanks to this solution, monitoring system
can be easily implemented on the places, where it was not possible because of
high cost and problem with creating infrastructure. |
