Abstract :
Preliminary work relating to edge-detection techniques associated with 3*3 masks and a local adaptive thresholding technique to provide a simple method for the extraction of edges from real-world images followed by further image enhancement techniques to obtain segmented pictures for further processing leading to counting, velocity measurement and tracking of road vehicles is presented.
