Description

A kind of image-based vehicle checking method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the vehicle detection field, particularly a kind of image-based vehicle checking method.
Background technology
The common purpose of vehicle detection is captured vehicle or vehicle is counted, and vehicle detection technology commonly used comprises the various ways such as buried coil detection, infrared detection, radar detection technique, video detection.Adopt video to detect can to avoid destroying the road surface, needn't the additional external checkout equipment, need not correct trigger position, reduce expenses, and be more suitable for the requirement of movable type, portable use.
System carries out video frequency vehicle and detects, and need to possess very high processing speed and adopt outstanding algorithm, realizes image acquisition, processing in the situation of substantially not frame losing.If processing speed is slow, then cause frame losing, make system can't detect faster vehicle of travel speed, be difficult to also guarantee that the position being conducive to identify begins identifying processing simultaneously, affect system recognition rate.The Key Performance Indicator that video frequency vehicle detects be included under the various photoenvironments and the vehicle flowrate condition under the accuracy of vehicle verification and measurement ratio, false detection rate, detection position.The video frequency vehicle detection technique has become focus at intelligent transportation field, but low with respect to its verification and measurement ratio of buried coil, false detection rate is high and the poor accuracy of detection position, so range of application is very restricted.
One of existing technical scheme, dummy line or virtual coil technology are the most frequently used detection meanss during video frequency vehicle detects, the know-why of dummy line and virtual coil is identical, equal limited pixels of the extracted region of vehicle process in image, form a set, add up certain statistical characteristics (such as average gray, gradient distribution etc.) of the interior pixel of set in every two field picture.When the eigenwert gap of eigenwert and background characteristics value or consecutive frame during greater than a certain threshold value, think vehicle to occur in the zone that the pixel set covers.Based on the motion detection of the object detection of background subtraction point-score, time differencing method and optical flow-based all in this category.
The defective of virtual coil technology has following 2 points:
1 because the principle of virtual coil is based on the statistical characteristics variation detection vehicle of pixel set, not merely occurred causing by vehicle but change in the practical application, cause in some situation false detection rate high, the shade of vehicle for example, the factors such as the lights of vehicle at night all can cause error detection.
2 judge whether to exist the threshold value of vehicle to be difficult to determine, this threshold value and photoenvironment, and the reflection coefficient on road surface, camera properties parameter have substantial connection, cause the adaptability of algorithm relatively poor.
Using vehicle characteristics to carry out vehicle detection is another kind of technical scheme, and the vehicle characteristics of often being selected comprises shape, color, the texture of vehicle, the car light of vehicle at night.Use vehicle characteristics to detect the vehicle detection that is known as based on model, common step is before carrying out vehicle detection, set up a vehicle characteristics model, for example night car light model may comprise the gray feature of car light, the shape of car light, the symmetric form of car light.After setting up the vehicle characteristics model, in each two field picture, be partitioned into area-of-interest, and extract eigenwert and characteristic model mates, when eigenwert meets characteristic model, think that the area-of-interest that splits comprises vehicle.Often adopt various features to merge in the actual algorithm, could obtain reasonable robustness.
Vehicle detection based on feature has lower false detection rate with respect to virtual coil, but it is existent defect also: because the diversity of detected object and the uncertainty of the factors such as photoenvironment, shooting angle, the difficulty that causes model to set up increases the bad adaptability of algorithm.
