Online automatic measurement of traffic state parameters has important significance for intelligent transportation surveillance. The video-based monitoring technology is widely studied today but the existing methods are not satisfactory at processing speed or accuracy, especially for traffic scenes with traffic congestion or complex road environments. Based on technologies of computer vision and pattern recognition, this paper proposes a novel measurement method that can detect multiple parameters of traffic flow and identify vehicle types from video sequence rapidly and accurately by combining feature points detection with foreground temporal-spatial image (FTSI) analysis. In this method, two virtual detection lines (VDLs) are first set in frame images. During working, vehicular feature points are extracted via the upstream-VDL and grouped in unit of vehicle based on their movement differences. Then, FTSI is accumulated from video frames via the downstream-VDL, and adhesive blobs of occlusion vehicles in FTSI are separated effectively based on feature point groups and projection histogram of blob pixels. At regular intervals, traffic parameters are calculated via statistical analysis of blobs and vehicles are classified via a K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifier based on geometrical characteristics of their blobs. For vehicle classification, the distorted blobs of temporary stopped vehicles are corrected accurately based on the vehicular instantaneous speed on the downstream-VDL. Experiments show that the proposed method is efficient and practicable.

This research presented a new approach for vehicle classification using roadside LiDAR sensor. Six features (one feature, object height profile, contains 10 sub-features) extracted from the vehicle trajectories were applied to distinguish different classes of vehicles. The vehicle classification aims to assign the objects into ten different types defined by FHWA. A database containing 1,056 manually marked samples and their corresponding pictures was provided for analysis. Those samples were collected at different scenarios (roads and intersections, different speed limits, day and night, different distance to LiDAR, etc.). Naïve Bayes, K-nearest neighbor classification, random forest (RF), and support vector machine were applied for vehicle classification. The results showed that the performance of different methods varied by class. RF has the highest overall accuracy among those investigated methods. Some types were merged together to serve different types of users, which can also improve the accuracy of vehicle classification. The validation indicated that the distance between the object and the roadside LiDAR can influence the accuracy. This research also provided the distribution of the overall accuracy of RF along the distance to LiDAR. For the VLP-16 LiDAR, to achieve an accuracy of 91.98%, the distance between the object and LiDAR should be less than 30 ft. Users can set up the location of the roadside LiDAR based on their own requirements of the classification accuracy.

In this chapter, an intelligent Computer Vision (CV) system, for the automatic defect detection and classification of the terminals in a Bussed Electrical Center (BEC) is presented. The system is able to detect and classify three types of defects in a set of the seven lower pairs of terminals of a BEC namely: a) twisted; b) damaged and c) missed. First, an environment to acquire a total of 56 training and test images was created. After that, the image preprocessing is performed by defining a Region Of Interest (ROI) followed by a binarization and a morphological operation to remove small objects. Then, the segmentation stage is computed resulting in a set of 12-14 labeled zones. A vector of 56 features is extracted for each image containing information of area, centroid and diameter of all terminals segmented. Finally, the classification is performed using a K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm. Experimental results on 28 BEC images have shown an accuracy of 92.8% of the proposed system, allowing changes in brightness, contrast and salt and pepper noise.

Remote transportation microwave sensor (RTMS) technology is being promoted for China’s highways. The distance is about 2 to 5 km between RTMSs, which leads to missing data and data sparseness problems. These two problems seriously restrict the accuracy of travel time prediction. Aiming at the data-missing problem, based on traffic multimode characteristics, a tensor completion method is proposed to recover the lost RTMS speed and volume data. Aiming at the data sparseness problem, virtual sensor nodes are set up between real RTMS nodes, and the two-dimensional linear interpolation and piecewise method are applied to estimate the average travel time between two nodes. Next, compared with the traditional K-nearest neighbor method, an optimal KNN method is proposed for travel time prediction. optimization is made in three aspects. Firstly, the three original state vectors, that is, speed, volume, and time of the day, are subdivided into seven periods. Secondly, the traffic congestion level is added as a new state vector. Thirdly, the cross-validation method is used to calibrate the K value to improve the adaptability of the KNN algorithm. Based on the data collected from Jinggangao highway, all the algorithms are validated. The results show that the proposed method can improve data quality and prediction precision of travel time.

Algoritma klasifikasi berkembang dari yang paling sederhana seperti K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) sampai Convolutional Neural Networks. KNN merupakan algoritma klasifikasi yang paling sederhana dalam mengklasifikasikan sebuah gambar kedalam sebuah label. Metode ini mudah dipahami dibandingkan metode lain karena mengklasifikasikan berdasarkan jarak terdekat dengan objek lain (tetangga). Tujuan penelitian ini untuk membuktikan kelemahan metode KNN dan ekstraksi fitur warna RGB dengan karakteristik tertentu. Percobaan pertama dilakukan terhadap dua objek dengan kemiripan bentuk tetapi dengan  warna yang  mencolok di salah satu sisi objek. Percobaan kedua terhadap dua objek yang memiliki perbedaan karakteristik bentuk meskipun memiliki kemiripan warna. Empat objek tersebut adalah bunga coltsfoot, daisy, dandelion dan matahari. Total data dalam dataset adalah 360 data. Dataset memiliki tantangan variasi sudut pandang, penerangan, dan  gangguan dalam latar. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi metode klasifikasi KNN dengan ekstraksi fitur warna RGB memiliki kelemahan terhadap percobaan pertama dengan akurasi 50-60% pada K=5. Percobaan kedua memiliki akurasi sekitar 90-100% pada K=5.

Abstract. In the process of image stitching, the ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF) algorithm lacks the characteristics of scale invariance and high mismatch rate. A principal component invariant feature transform (PCA-ORB, Principal Component Analysis- Oriented) is proposed. FAST and Rotated BRIEF) image stitching method. Firstly, the ORB algorithm is used to optimize the feature points to obtain the feature points with uniform distribution. Secondly, the principal component analysis (PCA) method can reduce the dimension of the traditional ORB feature descriptor and reduce the complexity of the feature point descriptor data. Thirdly, KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor) is used, and the k-nearest neighbor algorithm performs roughly matching on the feature points after dimensionality reduction. Then the random matching consistency algorithm (RANSAC, Random Sample Consensus) is used to remove the mismatched points. Finally, the fading and fading fusion algorithm is used to fuse the images. In 8 sets of simulation experiments, the image stitching speed is improved relative to the PCA-SIFT algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the image stitching speed under the premise of ensuring the quality of stitching, and can play a role in fast, real-time and large-scale applications, which are conducive to image fusion.
