 Real-time video feature extraction. |
| Cameras are used prolifically to monitor transportation incidents, infrastructure, and congestion. Traditional camera systems often require human monitoring and only offer low-resolution video. Researchers for the Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program project, “Cooperating Camera Platforms for Ultra-High-Resolution Traffic Surveillance and Autonomous Event Detection,” have developed a system that provides continuous, high-resolution, real-time simultaneous monitoring, tracking, and analysis of multiple events or characteristics. The University of Maryland is conducting this research, which was funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 2012. |
