The invention discloses a
red light running detecting device and method based on
video processing and belongs to the fields of
image pattern recognition, video target tracking, intelligent
video monitoring and intelligent transportation. The
red light running detecting method comprises a
license plate locating method based on edge information and color information and a vehicle target tracking method based on feature points of an
angular point. According to the
red light running detecting method, the most obvious partial characteristics of an image of a vehicle target are used as the basis of vehicle locating, relevance of the characteristics of a
rigid body of the moving vehicle of multiple frames is used for tracking the vehicle, and therefore movement information of the vehicle target in a monitoring video can be accurately obtained. The
red light running detecting device and method based on
video processing can rapidly and accurately detect the position of a
license plate of the vehicle in a monitoring video, can accurately obtain the movement information of the vehicle target, can intelligently achieve the function of vehicle running snapshot, can intelligently achieve the function that whether the vehicle runs on a required lane is judged, and is applicable to a
red light running electronic police
system, a
public security access
system, an abnormal-vehicle event detection and no-parking automatic fare
collection system and the like.
