Segmentation of Moving Multiple Vehicles using Logic Operations

논리연산을 이용한 주행차량 영상분할

In this paper, a novel algorithm for segmentation of moving multiple vehicles in video sequences using logic operations is proposed. For the case of multiple vehicles in a scene, the proposed algorithm begins with a robust double-edge image derived from the difference between two successive frames using exclusive OR operation. After extracting only the edges of moving multiple vehicles using Laplacian filter, AND operation and dilation operation, the image is segmented into moving multiple vehicle image. The features of moving vehicles can be directly extracted from the segmented images. The proposed algorithm has no the two preprocessing steps, so it can reduce noises which are norm at in preprocessing of the original images. The algorithm is more simplified using logic operations. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on an outdoor video sequence with moving multiple vehicles in 90,000 frames of 30fps by a low-end video camera and produces promising results.

본 논문은 논리연산을 이용한 주행차량들의 영상분할 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 연속된 프레임 간에 XOR(Exclusive OR)연산을 행함으로써 차영상을 구하였고, Laplacian 필터링, AND 연산, 팽창(dilation)연산 등을 이용하여 주행차량들에 대해서만 에지들을 추출하고 이들을 영상분할 함으로써 기존방법에 비해 평활화 단계에서 나타날 수 있는 잡음을 제거하였고, 전처리 단계를 줄였으며, 알고리즘을 단순화 하였다 또한 분할된 영상으로부터 컬러 등 주행차량의 특징을 직접 추출 가능토록 하였다. 30fps로 90,000프레임 이상 촬영 된 주행차량들을 대상으로 제안된 알고리즘의 우수성을 보였다
