IMAGE PROCESSING: DART'S INVOLVEMENT
After 6 years devoted to research on image processing of road traffic scenes, an inventory is made of the issues, methods and subjects dealt with. Two main methods of motion processing were studied and developed. One called TITAN locates and tracks vehicles on front and rear views. Precise spatial, dynamic and behavioural measurements can be made. Another method called URBI locates only moving areas. Information in terms of presence/absence is given at each time step. There have been several applications which are based on these two main methods. These are the measurement and detection of incidents on motorways (TITAN), and the measurement and detection of incidents in urban areas (URBI). A mixture of the two methods was used for an operational application of measuring queue lengths at a toll gate. (A) For the French abstract see IRRD 125469.
