Embodiment

[0040] Step 1, collect images, and input statistical area information.

[0041] In step 1-1, the drone shoots and records vertically above the highway intersection to obtain the traffic flow video of the intersection, such as figure 2 shown;

[0042] Step 1-2, select the position of the lane in the video that needs to be counted, and input it into the system as the area condition that needs to be counted. Generally, the area between the white line of the lane and the crosswalk is selected with a relatively pure color, such as image 3 shown.

[0043] Step 2, calculate and extract the background image by the median method.

[0044] Step 2-1, from the video statistics start time to the statistics end time, take 30 video images at equal intervals, and use the first image as the calibration image;

[0045] Step 2-2, since the drone will inevitably shake when shooting video in the air, it is necessary to perform a matching transformation to eliminate the shake to avoid the erro...

Abstract

The invention discloses a video traffic flow statistical method based on an unmanned aerial vehicle and time sequence characteristics and belongs to the image processing technical field. According to the method, a traffic flow video is obtained through the photographing of the unmanned aerial vehicle above a road intersection; image matching is performed on the obtained video, so that influence caused by jitter can be eliminated; a background image is extracted through using a median value selecting method; each frame of image of the video is matched again with the background image; feature extraction is performed on specified regions of matched images, so that a feature time sequence histogram is obtained; and the feature time sequence histogram is analyzed, so that the traffic flow of lanes can be obtained. According to the method, regional features are simply and efficiently extracted, interference error caused by the jitter of the unmanned aerial vehicle is eliminated several times, and therefore, the statistics of the traffic flow is more accurate. The method has the advantages of simplicity, high efficiency, high adaptability, high expandability and a very broad application prospect.

Description
