Abstract
|
In this research, we suggested a vision-based traffic accident detection system for automatically detecting, recording, and reporting traffic accidents at intersections. This model first extracts the vehicles from the video image of CCD camera, tracks the moving vehicles, and extracts features such as the variation rate of the velocity, position, area, and direction of moving vehicles. The model then makes decisions on the traffic accident based on the extracted features. And we suggested and designed the metadata registry for the system to improve the interoperability. In the field test, 4 traffic accidents were detected and recorded by the system. The video clips are invaluable for intersection safety analysis.
