ABSTRACT:
Vehicle
detection has been the critical part of the traffic surveillance system for
many years. However, vehicle detection method is still challenging. In this
paper, differential morphology closing profile is used to extract the vehicle
automatically from the traffic image. Along with closing profile, some addition
operation has been applied as a part of the algorithm to get the high detection
and quality rate. Result demonstrated that the novel method has an excellent
detection and quality percentage. We also have compared our automated detection
method with other traditional image processing based methods and the results
indicate that our proposed method provides better results than traditional
image processing based methods.
