Abstract:

A novel video-based system is presented which collects trajectories and motion parameters of all objects at intersections. First, a modified ViBe method is used to extract the foreground of moving objects. Then, an object-point-contour matching approach is developed for pairing, tracking, and generating trajectories. Finally, raw trajectories are corrected through post-processing and motion parameters are estimated after object classification. This system demonstrates better performance while tracking tardy and shadowed objects compared with previous studies. The accuracies of 86% and 91% are obtained for traffic counts and velocity validation, respectively. This paper also presents a sample safety analysis using traffic conflict technology to demonstrate the possible implementation for traffic management and safety analysis.
