Abstract Extracting traffic information from images plays an increasingly significant role in Internet of vehicle. However, due to the high-speed movement and bumps vehicle, image will be blurred during acquisition. In addition, rainy days, as a result rain attached lens, target blocked by rain, distorted. These problems have caused great obstacles for extracting key transportation images, whic...
