Algorithm Research on Moving Vehicles Detection

AbstractMoving vehicles detection is an important part of Intelligence Transport System (ITS). Traditional method of moving vehicles detection from video is image subtraction which is apt to be affected by brightness changing, in this paper a kind of moving vehicles detection algorithm based on optical flow is purposed: estimate optical flow through two consecutive frames’ image pyramids and compute every optical flow image's threshold with which images are be segment into binaryzation images, after that, through morphological transformation operator and rectangular splitting algorithm on images, moving vehicles’ images will be extracted from background. Experiment shows that the algorithm framework is practicable
