Abstract

In this paper, we propose a vehicle tracking method that can be applied in the intelligent traffic information system. The proposed method mainly consists of two steps: overlap removal and background updating. In order to remove overlap, we detect the overlap based on the location of the vehicle from successive images. Background updating is to calculate a background using statistical analysis of successive images. We collected a set of test images from the traffic monitoring system and experimented. The experimental results show more than 96% of tracking accuracy.

본 논문에서는 지능형 교통정보 시스템에서 활용할 수 있는 차량의 연관 추적 방법에 관하여 제안한다. 차량의 연관 추적과정에서 발생하는 차량 간 겹침 문제를 해결하기 위하여 위치 평균값과 시공간 연관 정보를 이용한 연관 추적 방법을 제안하였고 배경영상의 신뢰도를 향상시키기 위하여 배경영상 갱신 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법의 성능 평가를 위하여 다양한 위치의 교통 정보 수집 CCTV에서 촬영된 영상을 사용하였고 평균 96% 이상의 추적 성공률을 보였다.
