Research on Vehicle Detection and Shadow Elimination Based on Static Image Sequence

Abstract:

Focused on static high-definition sequence images captured on the highway bayonet, this paper proposes a new approach for vehicle detection and shadow elimination based on average background modeling, which uses average background model and background subtraction to locate vehicle roughly, eliminates shadow of the vehicle using canny edge detection with dynamic histogram threshold determined by the histogram of the image. Experiments show that this method can locate the position of vehicle quickly and accurately.
