Abstract
An image-based detecting system for traffic parameters first sets a range of a vehicle lane for monitoring control, and sets an entry detection window and an exit detection window in the vehicle lane. When the entry detection window detects an event of a vehicle passing by using the image information captured at the entry detection window, a plurality of feature points are detected in the entry detection window, and will be tracked hereafter. Then, the feature points belonging to the same vehicle are grouped to obtain at least a location tracking result of single vehicle. When the tracked single vehicle moves to the exit detection window, according to the location tracking result and the time correlation through estimating the information captured at the entry detection window and the exit detection window, at least a traffic parameter is estimated.
