Abstract

A novel method for measurement of vehicle queue length is presented in this paper. Previous methods proposed by researchers for queue detection are based on video sequences. The method proposed here measures the queue length in signal-frame image acquired by a stationary camera, which avoids the effect of uncontrollable camera motions. Besides, considering the varying illumination, double-threshold method is used for image segmentation and flashlight is applied to the system for realizing the round-the-clock traffic status detect. The experiment results of queue length measure from images of real road scenes show the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method.
