VIGIL is constituted by two main modules, the Local Sensor Module and the Central System module. The objective of this paper is to describe the VIGIL Central System functions, mainly the alarm filtering and management capabilities, and to present the field trial currently carried out in Madrid within the ARTIS project (Advanced RTI in Spain) supported by the Tranport Telematic Programme of the EC.
Evaluation of a Computer Vision Based Automatic Incident and Congestion Detection System in an Urban Context
Abstract The objective of the document is to describe an Automatic Incident and Congestions Detection System based on computer vision technology, in an urban environment. The document outlines the main technical features of the system and presents the first evaluation results obtained in a field trial currently carried out in protect INVAII) II. within the Transport Telematics Programme of the EC. CCTV cameras are installed in urban street intersections lor surveillance purposes. Based on image processing techniques. the Video Analyzers or Local Sensor Modules (LSM) connected to a number of selected cameras, obtain the traffic status measurements within the field of view of each one of them…
