Modelling and simulation of a programmable image processor using hardware simulation systems

摘要

The real-time measurement and analysis of various road traffic pa- rameters such as vehicle count, speed of vehicles, type of vehicles, and the turning movements of vehicles at traffic junctions (YMJ) etc. are increasingly required for traffic control and management. The image processing technique is now considered as an attractive and flexible technique for automatic analysis and data collection in traffic engi- neering. However, the computational requirement for such a tech- nique is beyond the capacity of conventional computers, therefore, special purpose architectures have to be designed to speed up image processing operations.
