Recognizing The Moving Vehicle While Driving On Indian Roads

The proposed system is a novel approach for moving vehicle speed control. Semi-automated moving vehicle speed control attracts interest of very few researchers. However, it suffers from few considerable limitations like inaccurate prediction of vehicle while overtaking, uncertain environment and sudden change in climate like snow fall, fog and illumination. To overcome these limitations, a novel approach is proposed in this paper. The proposed system gets the input as video sequence and background subtraction is performed to segregate the foreground object with the help of Blob detection using thresholding technique. The foreground object is identified either as 2D or 3D object using Height Breadth Length (HBL) growing algorithm. The speed of the vehicle is controlled if a 3D object is identified as a foreground object by the proposed system else the speed is maintained. The proposed system performance is validated in different situations and better results obtained as well.
