The invention relates to the technical field of the detection of the traffic state of a road and particularly discloses a method for distinguishing the traffic jam of a
toll plaza of a highway based on a
video detection technology, which comprises the following steps: (1) shooting the video of the road of a
toll plaza; (2) extracting the picture of the road of the
toll plaza from the video; (3) establishing and updating a background model of the picture; (4) extracting a foreground image from the picture; and (5) obtaining the energy value and the absolute value of the variable quantity of the energy value of the foreground image and judging whether the road of the toll plaza is jammed or not. According to the method for distinguishing the traffic jam of the toll plaza of the highway based on the
video detection technology, only the parameter of the energy value of the road needs to be obtained, and a jam distinguishing model is constructed, so that the judgment to the jam state of the toll plaza of the highway is finished. The
algorithm is simple, the operation expense is little, the real-time property is strong, the problem of distinguishing the traffic jam of the toll plaza of the highway can be accurately and effectively solved, and a jam caution is also output at the time of jam, so that powerful
information support is provided for a manager to master
a site condition in time and make a management decision so as to reduce the potential safety
hazard of pass in traffic.
