Moving vehicle detection using a single set optical remote sensing imagery
FY 2008-09
Summary
Moving Vehicle Detection Using Single Set Optical Remote Sensing Imagery The proposed research will develop a novel technology and software system to detect moving vehicles using a single set of commonly available high resolution remote sensing imagery, such as satellite imagery from QuickBird, Ikonos, the future satellite WorldView or OrbView-5, or airborne digital imagery from HRSC, ADS40 or others. The information to be extracted includes precise location, speed, moving direction, size and type of individual vehicles, and other traffic parameters important for transportation analysis. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is an important tool for transportation information analysis, which plays an important role in developing an efficient, safe, and environmentally sustainable transportation infrastructure. The resulting technology will provide a new method of collecting traffic information from the air or space for ITS, making transportation information analysis more efficient. Canada has been paying great attention to fostering innovation in the ITS industry and will continually support and accelerate commercialization of knowledge and technology emerging in this area. The proposed research will no doubt contribute to the innovation of the Canadian ITS industry and strengthen Canada's position as a world leader.
