A Camera Auto-calibration Algorithm for Realtime Road Traffic Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new mono-camera system for traffic surveillance. It uses an original algorithm to obtain automatically a calibration pattern from road lane markings. Movement detection is done with a Σ−∆ background estimation which is a non linear method of background substraction based on comparison and elementary increment/decrement. Foreground and calibration data obtained allow to determine vehicles speed in an efficient manner. Finally, a new method to estimate the height of vehicles is presented.

متن کاملCamera auto-calibration in GPS/INS/stereo camera integrated kinematic positioning and navigation system
This paper presents a novel two-step camera calibration method in a GPS/INS/Stereo Camera multi-sensor kinematic positioning and navigation system. A camera auto-calibration is first performed to obtain for lens distortion parameters, up-to-scale baseline length and the relative orientation between the stereo cameras. Then, the system calibration is introduced to recover the camera lever-arms, ...
متن کاملHierarchical camera auto-calibration for traffic surveillance systems
In this paper, a hierarchical monocular camera auto-calibration method is presented for applications in the framework of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). It is based on vanishing point extraction from common static elements present on the scene, and moving objects as pedestrians and vehicles. This process is very useful to recover metrics from images or applying information of 3D model...

This paper introduces three techniques for autotuning a run length encoded (RLE) robotic vision system. These are a noise limiting technique and two iterative enlargement techniques, an incremental one and a global one. The incremental iterative enlargement update process is applied after each pixel is processed while the global iterative enlargement update process is applied after processing t...
