Overview
Background & policy context:
Objectives:
This project will develop a combination of optical, electronic and electro-mechanical techniques that will determine the number of occupants in a car so that the lane restriction can be enforced effectively.
Methodology:
Clear imagery of a motor vehicle will be obtained such that the interior of the vehicle is clearly illuminated and views both the front and side windows acquired. Pattern-recognition techniques will be used to detect head and shoulder shaped regions to determine the number of occupants in the vehicle.
