Abstract
In order to reduce traffic accidents and road congestion in many cities, vehicle speed estimation is very critical and important to observe speed limitation law and traffic conditions. In this paper, we present a speed estimation method of vehicles based on road monitoring video-images. Firstly, we set up a word coordinate system on the license plate in one vehicle image. Next, for small vehicles in China, according to the known length and width of the license plate, the spatial transformation matrix between the word coordinate system and the image coordinate system is derived. Then, based on the spatial transform matrix, compute the corner spatial coordinates of the license plate in each frame, and then estimate the vehicle speed. Finally, experimental results on read data have shown that the vehicle speed can be estimated within the acceptable error range (±3 km/h), and then have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed vehicle speed estimation method.
