Abstract

Vehicle speed analysis based on the video is a challenging task in the field of traffic safety, which has high requirements for accuracy and computational burden. The drone’s video is taken from a top-down perspective, providing more complete view comparing to the common surveillance cameras in poles. In this paper, we introduce a Gaussian Filter to deal with the estimated speed data which are extracted by a multiple objects tracking method composed of You Only Look Once (YOLOv3) and Kalman Filter. We exploit the capability of Gaussian Filter to suppress data noise appearing in the process of tracking vehicles from drone videos, and thus use the filter to solve the case where the estimated vehicle speed is fluctuated along the ongoing direction. On the other hand, we built a vehicle dataset from the drone’s videos we mentioned above which additionally contains vehicle’s real speed information. Experimental results showed that our method is effective to improve the accuracy of vehicle speed estimated by our tracking module. It can improve Mean Squared error (MSE) accuracy 80.5% on experimental data.
