In recent years intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have been an active research area in computer vision. One of the main goals of ITS is producing systems to guide surveillance operators and reduce human resources for observing hundreds of cameras in urban traffic surveillance. Thus, this thesis is devoted to realization of low level tasks, target detection and tracking, for an autonomous video surveillance system. The initial step of the proposed system is moving object detection which is utilized based on a recently proposed Self Adaptive Gaussian Mixture Model technique. The resulting moving object mask is further enhanced via post processing steps containing morphological operations and shadow/highlight removal. Benefiting from this enhanced binary mask, track initialization is achieved for each detected moving blob entering to the scene and a track is intended to be maintained until the target leaves the scene. For target tracking, multiple model visual tracking methodology is proposed based on correlation filters. Moreover, in order to adjust tracking parameters online and provide high level tasks with extra information together, a target bounding box generation methodology which is capable of target silhouette extraction is proposed based on temporal consistency of the saliency map of tracking window. The proposed algorithm is tested on synthetic as well as real data and based on these experimental results, it can be concluded that it yields competitive tracking results in real life scenarios.

Moving vehicle classification Duman, Demet; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) In recent years intelligent transportation systems have been an active research area in computer vision. The aim of this study is to classify moving vehicles from highway videos taken by stationary uncalibrated cameras. For this study, three types of vehicle classes with different scales are chosen to classify: car, van and truck. The proposed algorithm is composed of foreground/background segmentation, feature extraction and classification steps. In order to classify each vehicle, histogram of oriented gra...
An algorithm for multiscale license plate detection and rule-based character segmentation Karalı, Ali Onur; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) License plate recognition (LPR) technology has great importance for the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems by automatically identifying the vehicles using image processing and pattern recognition techniques. Conventional LPR systems consist of license plate detection (LPD), character segmentation (CS) and character recognition (CR) steps. Successful detection of license plate and character locations have vital role for proper LPR. Most LPD and CS techniques in the literature assume fixed dist...
Planning for a successful development of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in Turkey Dündar, Selim; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; İpekyüz, Beyhan; Karataş Sevinen, Pınar; Hüner, Egecan Emre; Evren, Güngör (2018-04-26) Since 1990s, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has been an area of research and implementation following the rapid development in communication and computational fields of research, which has always taken advantage of advances to promote mobility, efficiency and safety in transportation systems. The last two decades ofexperience in mostly the developed countries, the accumulation of knowledge and experience on ITS enabled the discussions on how to evaluate ...
An End-to-end communication architecture for intelligent transportation systems: design, implementation and latency analysis Bağcı, Çağatay; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Vehicle to anything (V2X) communication is a very significant component of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) applications. This thesis proposes an application layer communication architecture, ITSVeCon for V2X communications which enables communication among the end-hosts which can be vehicle Electronic Control Units (ECU)’s, Road Side Units (RSU)s, computers, smart phones or third party service providers. All these end-hosts are bi-directionally connected to the ITSVeCon Server where this server carries ...
Energy-Aware Data Delivery Framework for Safety-Oriented Mobile IoT Al-Turjman, Fadi (2018-01-01) The proliferation of wireless multimedia sensor networks has given rise to intelligent transportation systems as a mobile data-sharing model. This vision can be extended under the umbrella of the mobile Internet of Things to include versatile resources, such as smartphones, radio frequency identification tags, and sensors on roads that can be utilized in emergency situations. The facilitation of such a vision faces key challenges in terms of interoperability, resource management and energy consumption. In t...
