Introduction
 Computer vision-based traffic monitoring system has

become popular because of its flexibility and easy
installation as compared to ground-buried loop detectors.
 Vision based-system has many applications such as

measuring traffic parameters, vehicle classification,
detecting of illegal parking and etc.
 The tracking and identification of a highway vehicles is a

demanding application of computer vision.

Problem Statement
 Analyzing scenes from congested traffic is difficult because

there are many vehicles occluding each other at the same
time.
 It is even more difficult when the video dimension is

compressed or when weather conditions are bad.
 In practice, traffic monitoring videos are usually highly

compressed and are in low resolution, and matching
models with vehicles in such a scene is difficult.

Objective
 To develop multiple vehicle detection and

segmentation algorithm that can work
robustly with a low resolution highway
monitoring video.

Design Specifications
 Based on video input from closed television (CCTV)
 Video captured will be performed during daytime with good

weather condition.
 Video camera will be static during video capturing but the

angle of camera will vary to get the desired result.
 Only video taken at the traffic light will be considered as

worst case scenario to monitor moving vehicles.

Threshold
• Based on auto threshold

•Image frame consist of
a) moving object based on optical
flow.
b) Background image.
• Mean value will be calculated based on
image frame.
•The threshold value is actually
correspond to background of the image.
•Based on this value , the image can be
filter out to get the desire results.

Morphological Processing
• Several process of morphological processing

such as dilation and erosion will be used.
•To obtain a clear and filled region.
•Erosion – Makes the object smaller & and can
break single object into multiple object.
•Dilation – Makes the object larger and can
merge multiple object into one.
