Abstract

This paper presents a new mono-camera system for traffic surveillance. It uses an original algorithm to obtain automatically a calibration pattern from road lane markings. Movement detection is done with a ∑ - ∆ background estimation which is a non linear method of background substraction based on comparison and elementary increment/decrement. Foreground and calibration data obtained allow to determine vehicles speed in an efficient manner. Finally, a new method to estimate the height of vehicles is presented.
