Vehicle speed estimation using optical flow on traffic video under day and night lighting condition

Abstract


Traffic violation and congestion can happen at day or night. As a preventive measure, CCTV is installed at strategic locations on the road to monitor the traffic violation and congestion. Usually some speed sensors also installed to measure the speed of vehicles then through a system, it will inform the operator about speedy vehicles or predict a congestion. However, it is not effective because it needs a lot of sensors to be able to monitor the vehicle speed in many locations especially in the highway and before the intersection all the time. This problem leads to the development of intelligent traffic monitoring system using computer vision technology. In this research, an optical flow-based vehicle speed estimation method is proposed. The method takes a CCTV video as an input, defines the road region of interest/ROI, performs orthographic projection transformation to find the ratio of distance, uses optical flow Farneback to track the vehicle movements, and estimates the vehicle’s average speed on the road. The method is tested using CCTV video under day and night lighting condition. From the experiment, the proposed method achieves 9.8% of average RMSE.
