Road modelling and vehicle detection by using image processing

In this paper, we present methodologies of motion detection using vision system applied to road traffic. The using of mathematical morphology, the studying of perspective influences and signal processing are representing the major innovation of our methodologies. First, we present the state of the art and an initialisation phase which involves road modelling and calibration of the vision system. Secondly, we present methodologies for vehicle detection on highway. After, we present a method to detect then separate tight vehicles. At last, we discuss results and give perspectives and conclusions
