Abstract

We propose an event extraction method from traffic image sequences. This method extracts moving objects and their trajectories from image sequences recorded by a stationary camera. These trajectories are mapped to 3D virtual space and physical parameters such as velocity and direction are estimated. After that, traffic events are extracted from these trajectories and physical parameters based on case-frame analysis in the field of natural language processing. Our method facilitates to describe events easily and detect general traffic events and abnormal situations. The experimental results of actual intersection traffic image sequence have shown the effectiveness of the method.
