Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of traffic management, and particularly to a on-site alarm system based on traffic signal timing. Background Art
[0002] The zebra crossing, which appears as a solid white line, is an important road marking that can effectively improve traffic safety. It can protect pedestrians, cyclists and drivers, and ensure smooth traffic flow. The following are several important functions of the zebra crossing: The zebra crossing helps to limit the driving speed of vehicles, enabling pedestrians to pass safely; The zebra crossing can remind drivers to pay attention to pedestrians or cyclists, reducing the possibility of collisions. The zebra crossing can provide a direct path for pedestrians to cross, reducing the risk of pedestrians being hit; The zebra crossing can make drivers pay attention to the surrounding environment and detect problems in a timely manner; The zebra crossing can help drivers quickly identify whether pedestrians have crossed the road; The zebra crossing can help drivers quickly identify whether pedestrians are walking and their upcoming positions.
[0003] However, in the actual traffic environment, there are still some motor vehicle drivers who, out of a fluke mentality and for the purpose of passing quickly, occupy the solid white line that serves as the zebra crossing during the time interval when the green traffic signal is on, thus affecting the normal passage of pedestrians and deteriorating the traffic efficiency of the entire traffic environment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a on-site alarm system based on traffic signal timing, which can issue a vehicle occupancy signal when the percentage of the number of pixel points overlapping the imaging area of a certain vehicle in the imaging area of the solid white line in the traffic direction for pedestrians to walk accounts for more than or equal to a set percentage limit of the total number of pixel points of the traffic scene picture after targeted optimization processing, and play a corresponding sound warning file in real time for the vehicle occupancy signal, so as to achieve automatic dissuasion of the occupied vehicle.
[0005] According to a on-site alarm system based on traffic signal timing provided by the present invention, the system includes:
[0006] A scene detection mechanism, connected to the traffic signal, for capturing a directional picture of the traffic direction under the jurisdiction of the traffic signal at a set frame rate during the time interval when the green traffic signal is on, so as to obtain a directional scene picture;
[0007] The sequence conversion mechanism includes a first filtering device, a rendering processing device, and a second filtering device. The first filtering device is connected to the scene detection mechanism and is used to perform harmonic mean filtering on the received directional scene image to obtain and output a corresponding harmonic mean filtered image. The rendering processing device is connected to the first filtering device and is used to perform image rendering processing on the received harmonic mean filtered image to obtain and output a corresponding current rendered image. The second filtering device is connected to the rendering processing device and is used to perform guided filtering on the received current rendered image to obtain and output a corresponding sequence conversion image.
[0008] A visual judgment mechanism, connected to the sequence conversion mechanism, is used to identify the imaging region corresponding to the white solid line body in the received sequence conversion image based on the color imaging characteristics of the white solid line body and output it as the target imaging region.
[0009] An overlap identification mechanism, connected to the visual judgment mechanism, is used to issue a vehicle lane occupancy signal when the percentage of pixels overlapping with the imaging area of a vehicle in the received target imaging area is greater than or equal to a set percentage limit in the total number of pixels in the sequentially converted image.
[0010] The on-site playback mechanism is located near the traffic light and connected to the overlap identification mechanism. It is used to play the sound warning file corresponding to the vehicle lane occupancy signal in real time when the vehicle lane occupancy signal is received.
[0011] The overlap identification mechanism is also used to issue a vehicle not occupying the lane signal when the percentage of the number of pixels overlapping with the imaging area of any vehicle in the received target imaging area is less than the set percentage limit.
[0012] Specifically, during the green light period of the traffic signal, a set frame rate is used to capture directional images of the traffic direction governed by the traffic signal to obtain directional scene images, including: the traffic direction governed by the traffic signal has white solid lines laid at the traffic intersection for pedestrians to pass during the green light period.

[0027] Among them, capturing directional images of the traffic direction governed by the traffic light at a set frame rate during the green light time interval of the traffic light to obtain directional scene images also includes: the value of the set frame rate is inversely correlated with the resolution of the directional scene images.
[0028] The inverse correlation between the set frame rate and the resolution of the directional scene image includes: using a numerical conversion formula to represent the numerical correspondence between the set frame rate and the resolution of the directional scene image.

When the number of pixels overlapping with the imaging area of a vehicle in the imaging area of a white solid line in the pedestrian traffic direction occupies a percentage greater than or equal to a set percentage limit in the total number of pixels in the optimized traffic scene image, a vehicle lane-occupying signal is issued, thereby achieving effective identification of vehicles occupying the lane.
