Automated Traffic Analysis in Aerial Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work an automated traffic analysis in aerial image sequences recorded by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been developed, which provides the trajectories of the vehicles especially during overtaking. Methods of photogrammetry and image processing are used to detect the vehicles and to determine and track their positions. Camera calibration is necessary in order to transform image coordinates into world coordinates. Keywords-aerial photography; camera calibration; fisheye lens; image processing; photogrammetry; traffic analysis; unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)

Researchers at the University of Arizona are investigating the potential of remotely sensed data, using aerial video, to enhance existing data sources and therefore to improve traffic management. This research has developed new methods for both data collection and image processing of remotely sensed data. While the use of remotely sensed data to monitor traffic flows is not new, this research i...
متن کاملAutomated classification of pulmonary nodules through a retrospective analysis of conventional CT and two-phase PET images in patients undergoing biopsy
Objective(s): Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination is commonly used for the evaluation of pulmonary nodules since it provides both anatomical and functional information. However, given the dependence of this evaluation on physician’s subjective judgment, the results could be variable. The purpose of this study was to develop an automated scheme for the classific...
