The invention relates to a
traffic flow statistics method based on the image
visual processing technology. Compared with the prior art, thedefect that comprehensive statistics of the
traffic flow can not be achieved according to the
video image technology is overcome. The
traffic flow statistics method based on the image
visual processing technology comprises the following steps of conducting pre-
processing, wherein a virtual circle and a detection line are drawn for a detected lane, and manual statistics is conducted under the vehicle saturation condition; establishing an initial
background image, wherein the
background image BG is constructed according to the
frame difference method; conducting vehicle monitoring and forming a vehicle
binary image Object through a difference image DI; obtaining the image information of vehicles in the virtual circle; judging the state of the vehicle in the virtual circle, wherein whether vehicles exist in the virtual circle and the virtual circle is in a vehicle saturated state or not is judged by calculating the ratio of overlapped images to the detection line; conducting traffic flow statistics, wherein the traffic flow in the unsaturated state and the traffic flow in the saturated state are calculated, and thus a traffic flow statistics result is obtained. By the adoption of the traffic flow statistics method based on the image
visual processing technology, the traffic flow in the unsaturated state can be obtained, the traffic flow in the saturated state can also be obtained, and the statistics result is more accurate.
