Traffic Congestion Avoidance System Using Foreground Estimation and Cascade Classifier

In recent decades, the traffic on road increased in a huge number. It is very important to manage the safety of the humans as well as to make an efficient flow of the traffic. To manage the traffic flow and to overcome from the situation of the traffic congestion the vehicle detection and counting n...

description In recent decades, the traffic on road increased in a huge number. It is very important to manage the safety of the humans as well as to make an efficient flow of the traffic. To manage the traffic flow and to overcome from the situation of the traffic congestion the vehicle detection and counting needs a greater amount of accuracy. In this work, two different techniques are proposed that provides better performance in terms of F-Measure score and Error Ratio. The first technique is based on the foreground estimation while the second proposed technique is based on the training of dataset using a cascade classifier which is based on the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG). Furthermore, four images are provided at once to the proposed system to count the vehicles and generate a signal that shows a greater number of vehicles in that image. The priority of each image will be set on the basics of greater number of vehicles present. The proposed techniques showed outstanding performance on a sunny and a cloudy day which is verified from the experimental results.
