• Adaptive Instantaneous Traffic Signal Management Through Cascade Object Detection

◦ Publication date: Nov 8, 2014
• Publication description: Springer International Publishing, New Trends in Networking,
Computing, E-learning, Systems Sciences, and Engineering publication
• Abstract: Road traffic controlling is one of the prime issues of any busy town in the world. The
situation is worst in the junction point of multiple roads. It is not always possible to predict
upcoming traffic pressure intensity and direction with prior information. An adaptive approach is
needed to solve this problem in real time. In this paper an efficient method of controlling traffic
signal duration is proposed. Here cascade object detection technique is used to recognize and
 count the number of moving vehicles towards a junction from various directions through static
video camera installed in each direction. Using the static camera, the proposed system senses
the current traffic pressure of each connecting road towards the junction and thereby takes
sensible decision of setting traffic signal duration in each road.
• Counting objects in an image by Marker Controlled Watershed Segmentation and Thresholding
◦ Publication date: Feb 23, 2013
• Publication description: IEEE 3rd International conference on Advance Computing Conference
(IACC), 2013
• Abstract: Object counting in an image is one of the major challenges in image processing. Image
segmentation is used to segregate similar particles which help counting approximate total
number of particles. Watershed segmentation technique is considered to be most efficient
technique to solve problems of segregation contiguous objects. Thresholding technique is
needed for counting objects in an image. Counting only with thresholding technique can give
wrong impression. Using marker controlled watershed segmentation along with thresholding
technique gives satisfactory result.
