Moving Cast Shadow Elimination for Robust Vehicle Extraction Based on 2D Joint Vehicle/Shadow Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new algorithm to eliminate moving cast shadow for robust vehicle detection and extraction in a vision-based highway monitoring system is investigated in this research. The proposed algorithm is based on a simplified 2D vehicle/shadow model of six types projected to a 2D image plane. Parameters of the joint 2D vehicle/shadow models can be estimated from input video without the light source and camera calibration information. Simulations are performed to verify that the proposed technique is effective for vision-based highway surveillance systems.

Robust Vehicle and Traffic Information Extraction for Highway Surveillance
A robust vision-based traffic monitoring system for vehicle and traffic information extraction is developed in this research. It is challenging to maintain detection robustness at all time for a highway surveillance system. There are three major problems in detecting and tracking a vehicle: (1) the moving cast shadow effect, (2) the occlusion effect, and (3) nighttime detection. For moving cast...

Vehicle shadow and superposition have a great influence on the accuracy of vehicles detection in traffic video. Many background models have been proposed and improved to deal with detection moving object. This paper presented a method which improves Gaussian mixture model to get adaptive background. The HSV color space was used to eliminate vehicle shadow, it was based on a computational colour...
متن کاملMoving Cast Shadow Detection
Moving shadow detection is an important topic in computer vision applications, including video conference, vehicle tracking, and three-dimensional (3-D) object identification, and has been actively investigated in recent years. Because, in real world scenes, moving cast shadows may be detected as foreground object and plauge the moving objects segmentation. For example, in traffic surveillance ...
متن کاملShadow Elimination in Traffic Video Segmentation
Shadow detection is critical for robust and reliable vision-based systems for traffic vision analysis. Shadow points are often misclassified as object points causing errors in localization, segmentation, tracking and classification of moving vehicles. This paper proposes a novel shadow elimination method SEBG for resolving shadow occlusion problems of vehicle analysis. Different from some tradi...
متن کاملJoint Random Fields for Moving Vehicle Detection
This paper proposes a joint random field (JRF) model for moving vehicle detection in video sequences. The JRF model extends the conditional random field (CRF) by introducing auxiliary latent variables to characterize the structure and evolution of visual scene. Hence detection labels (e.g. vehicle/roadway) and hidden variables (e.g. pixel intensity under shadow) are jointly estimated to enhance...
