A fast algorithm for measuring vehicle traffic parameters

In this paper, we propose a algorithm which can extract traffic information from the images automatically. The main purpose lies in utilizing existing traffic photography equipment, cooperating with this system to get vehicle numbers and vehicle speed information. During the process of extracting traffic information, we utilize the traffic image sequence input from camera. By analyzing the pixelspsila difference between consecutive image frames, we can get the moving objectpsilas characteristics and count the quantity of the passing vehicles.
