Improved Traffic Flow Measuring System Based on Edge Detection

Technology of the vehicle detection is the key to the series of technologies for the intelligent traffic system.Research on the technology for the vehicle detection based on image processing is just the hot of the field.This paper presents an algorithm that detects vehicles on road based on HSV color mode and edge detection technology.According to the algorithm,the system is developed which can count vehicles on road.The algorithm can exclude the shadows efficiently,the recognition rate of the system can reach over 95%.
