Development of an Integrated Video Imaging Vehicle Detector

摘要

For recent traffic control applications, there has been a growing need for a less expensive compact video imaging vehicle detector (hereinafter referred to as VIVD) that features a greater degree of installation flexibility. Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as SEI) has successfully developed a less expensive compact VIVD by integrating an image processor and a camera. The features of our VIVD include compact size, light weight, aesthetically acceptable appearance, and higher flexibility in installation due to a built-in zoom lens. Some features, such as continuously optimal camera control and reduced interference from radio frequency noise, are unique to the integrated design. In fiscal 2003, SEI began marketing its VIVD as a product for vehicle presence detection and velocity measurement.
