The main purpose of the application is to extract traffic data from vehicles on roads using aerial footage taken from static UAVs. To process the footage, deep neural network detector is used (YOLO) alongside with the OpenCV library in ordered to be executed in python. Furthermore, multiple algorithms are used, such as Kalman, Hungarian, in order to match the detections between sequential frames and extract the vehicles and their trajectories. Hence, the velocities and the moving direction of the vehicles are also calculated for each vehicle for every frame.
This project is still ongoing.
