Design and development of image processing algorithms for traffic applications

Most traffic regulators use surveillance cameras to monitor road traffic patterns, perform post-accident investigation and gather traffic statistics. For statistical data collection, it heavily involves manual counting of vehicles through the surveillance footage which is tedious and unreliable proc...
