Abstract

Over-height vehicle strikes with low bridges and tunnels are an ongoing problem worldwide. While previous methods have used vision-based systems to address the over-height warning problem, such methods are sensitive to wind. In this paper, we perform a full validation of the system using a constraint-based approach to minimize the number of over-height vehicle misclassifications due to windy conditions. The dataset includes a total of 102 over-height vehicles recorded at frame rates of 25 and 30fps. A wind analysis and vehicle displacement check are performed and classified to analyse the direction of vector displacement movements using optical flow paired with SURF feature detectors. Motion captured within the region of interest was treated as a standard two-class binary linear classification problem with 1 indicating over-height vehicle presence and 0 indicating noise. The algorithm performed with 100% recall, 83.3% precision, false positive rate of 0.2% and warning accuracy of 96.6%.
