This project consists of a moving image processing system which has the ability to detect and track vehicles in realtime scenarios. Once the vehicles have been detected the data will be published on a website which will be made available for users to check the amount of vehicles passing in real time.
In this project different algorithms were tested and implemented in the same scenario. With the use of live Webcams the system was able to detect a high percentage of cars passing through main roads in the Maltese islands. The idea was to give the drivers a simple website which would show the traffic condition at that instance. With this data made available even with a poor internet connection one can make last minute decision on what road to use. In the future this system may also feed other systems which might be used for intelligent traffic lights and automated accident reporting.
