Automatic Traffic Monitoring System Using Lane Centre Edges

Abstract

Robust and reliable traffic monitoring system is an urgent need to improve traffic control and management. Vehicle flow detection appears to be an important part in traffic monitoring system. The traffic flow shows the traffic state in fixed time interval and helps to control the traffic. This paper proposes an automatic traffic monitoring system which is used for estimating the important traffic parameters from video sequences through vision based cameras, and also used to detect the traffic flow in different lanes. Mainly this paper tells that how to detect the lanes and vehicle centres in different frames. This is used to count the number of vehicles in different lanes based on lane width.
