 ABSTRACT
• Population explosion leads to an unprecedented increase in the number of physical objects
or vehicles on road. As a result, the number of road accidents increases due to a very heavy
traffic flow.
• In order to detect vehicles, monitor and estimate traffic flow using low cost electronic
devices, this research work utilizes camera module of raspberry pi along with Raspberry Pi
3.
• It also aims to develop a remote access using raspberry-pi to detect, track and count
vehicles only when some variations occur in the monitored area.
 INTRODUCTION
• Real-time vehicle detection, tracking and counting of vehicles is of great interest for
researchers and is a need of the society in general for comfortable, smooth and safe
movements of vehicles in cities.
• We propose a video image processing algorithm which detects, tracks and finds the number
of vehicles on a road. We convert RGB video frame to HSV color domain, which helps in
differentiating the colors of the vehicles more absolutely.
• We propose a novel idea to detect, track and count the vehicles on a road and it has been
implemented on Raspberry Pi using OpenCV and Python.
 PROPOSED SYSTEM
• The approach uses Raspberry pi to record a video when something moves inside the
monitored area.
• The proposed system efficiently manages to distinguish the vehicles from the surrounding
environmental variability and improves the low resolution videos through Histogram
equalization technique in order to maintain uniformity of videos in terms of resolution and
also in removal of noise from videos.
• Then the implementation of background subtraction algorithm helps to detect objects and
track them based on the particle filter algorithm. Tracked vehicles are counted based on the
threshold given to different sized vehicles based on the area.

 REQUIREMENTS
1. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
• Raspberry pi
• Web camera
• Wi-Fi USB adaptor
• Micro SD card
• Wi-Fi module
2. Software requirements
• Python
 ADVANTAGES
1. Raspberry Pi is accessible anywhere in the network.
2. Live streaming of video is accessed from any of the remote devices.
3. Reduces physical space and storage space by capturing the video, only when the
movement is found.
4. Power efficient and cost-effective.
5. Possible to connect multiple cameras and process them in parallel.
 CONCLUSION
• A system with Raspberry Pi and USB camera is being used for real-time vehicle detection,
tracking and counting.
• The density of the vehicles running in the particular road is determined in real time. The
results of the proposed method in terms of its accuracy and time taken are better compared
to rear-view vehicle detection and tracking method.
• Detection of the vehicle and tracking made by the system is reliable.
• Numbers of vehicles present in the video are calculated in real time.
