The System Operation process is as follows: at first carry out system initialization, for example colour band is stumbled the line detection as acquiescence selection, image size, formatting, the loading of colour band Standard Colors, the loading of various algorithms and initialization etc.
Secondly, the scene configuration that has colour band.By being installed on carriageway surfacing of exercising and the road surface, colour band constitutes. and its major function is a stack colour band information in live video stream, for the later stage provides information source based on the Algorithm Analysis of colour band information.
Then, enter the running of video acquiring module.In this example, video acquiring module comprises two submodules: the A module comprises that natural light LED light filling lamp and video camera and B module comprise infrared LED light filling lamp and thermal camera.Two modules of A, B can independently be worked, and need not an other side, also can be with cooperation way work.The A module can be arrested the vehicle pictures that has license board information night, if cooperate flashlamp can obtain the colour picture of whole vehicle.This function can be used to discern vehicle license, the information that car plate color, vehicle color etc. are abundant more.But not having under the sightless situation of secondary light source and colour band, as the heavy snow at night, heavy rain under the condition such as colour band is contaminated, may make the A module can't obtain to have the effective video of colour band.The B module adopts the infrared light filling of LED, and the illumination of sensing light automaticallyes switch between white light pattern and low-light (level) infrared mode automatically, therefore can obtain the effective video under any illumination condition.Greater than certain illumination threshold values, the B module is the normal white light mode of operation, is lower than this value, and the B module is operated in infrared mode, acquisition make gray level image.
The vehicle detection of reruning module, corresponding with video acquiring module, also be divided into A module and B module.The video content of A resume module video acquiring module A, the content of B resume module video acquiring module B.
Modules A mainly comprises the clear detection sub-module of colour band, based on the vehicle detection submodule of colour band, based on the vehicle detection submodule of the virtual line of stumbling, based on the vehicle detection submodule and the communicator module of car light; Module B also comprises the luminance detection module except that comprising the submodule that A comprises, whether whether the picture that detects current collection gray level image, promptly be operated under the infrared mode.Modules A and B have separately independently logic working system, can be operated under primary module and the supplementary module pattern according to different any one modules that requires.The B module is mainly used in the vehicle detection under any external condition, but do not have the color video information at night, make the colouring information of car plate and car body to obtain, the B module can be sent the request of assisting: request color video and flashlamp are synchronous, if the A module exists then response request, require flashlamp synchronous simultaneously.The B module is selected to detect based on colour band according to illuminance information and the clear information of colour band automatically, or the virtual line detection of stumbling, or car light detects.These three submodules are relatively independent, both can work in series, also can concurrent working, and one of them or several assistance authentication modules as main detection module, final assistance information and vehicle detecting information will output to next module.
The A module is mainly used in the vehicle detection under certain constraint condition, and as colour band as seen, perhaps surrounding environment light is better, but under the light filling of flashlamp, it can obtain color video stream preferably.If colour band detects failure or other functions are enabled failure, it can be assisted in order to request module B, if B replys and ask success, then modules A current vehicles measuring ability will temporarily be replaced by module B.When illumination is higher than a certain threshold values, module B will stop this agency service.Modules A will be according to colour band information, and the ambient light information or the solicited message that extract in the video flowing are selected to detect based on colour band automatically, or the virtual line detection of stumbling, or car light detects.These three submodules are relatively independent, both can work in series, also can concurrent working, and one of them or several assistance authentication modules as main detection module. final assistance information and vehicle detecting information will output to next module.
Message management module (Event Adapter) is used for communicating by letter and synchro control mechanism of Coordination module A, B and flashlamp control module.This message management module makes the cooperation of intermodule become simple, flexible, configurable.This framed structure has extremely strong extensibility, and not only each intermodule both can work alone, cooperation that again can be continuously, but also can add new functional module as required.
At last, carry out vehicle license identification and vehicle color identification.From the processing through assistance information processing module and state detection module of the assistance information of vehicle detection module input and testing result, car plate identification and color identification module will obtain the current detection trigger method, obtain related resource then.For example, if Video Detection information from modules A, and is that colour band triggers, picture is clear, and light is better, and the car plate recognizer will normally start so, has the color calibration that colour band color in the dynamic video of colour band information will be used in the vehicle color recognizer.If Video Detection information is equally from modules A, but be not to be that colour band triggers, but trigger by the local virtual line of stumbling, light a little less than, colour band is fuzzy to lose, and the car plate recognizer still normally starts so, but the colour band information in the dynamic video does not exist, at this moment it is (similar with colour band to rely on backup color calibration board, but be not to be laid on the ground, but other positions in the visual field do not mark in system diagram), if neither available, with only according to the information Recognition vehicle color of picture self.If Video Detection information from module B, detects the assistance information of A simultaneously, the car plate recognizer will start A road video so, or time-delay wait A road video, at this moment, modules A is in blocked state, video is not being performed an analysis, and directly directly handling by car plate and color recognizer.If Video Detection information is equally from module B, and well lighted, colour band is clear, and the car plate recognizer will normally start so, has the color calibration that colour band color in the dynamic video of colour band information will be used in the vehicle color recognizer.If Video Detection information is equally from module B, for the local virtual line of stumbling triggers, and colour band is fuzzy invisible, light is darker, if the assistance information of B exists, then recognizer is waited for the input of video module A, if assistance information does not exist, recognizer directly starts.
Final recognition result is inserted database, the vehicle that record this time detects, car plate, color, time, some information such as direction.
