| Abstract | |
Road traffic anomaly detection is vital for reducing the number of accidents and ensuring a more efficient and safer transportation system. In highways, where traffic volume and speed limits are high, anomaly detection is not only essential but also considerably more challenging, given the multitude of fast-moving vehicles, often observed from extended distances and diverse angles, occluded by other objects, and subjected to variations in illumination and adverse weather conditions. This complexity has meant that human error often limits anomaly detection, making the role of computer vision systems integral to its success. In light of these challenges, this paper introduces MEDAVET - a sophisticated computer vision system engineered with an innovative mechanism that leverages spatial and temporal structures for high-precision traffic anomaly detection on highways. MEDAVET is assessed in its object tracking and anomaly detection efficacy using the UA-DETRAC and Track 4 benchmarks and has its performance compared with that of an array of state-of-the-art systems. The results have shown that, when MEDAVET's ability to delimit relevant areas of the highway, through a bipartite graph and the Convex Hull algorithm, is paired with its QuadTree-based spatial and temporal approaches for detecting occluded and stationary vehicles, it emerges as superior in precision, compared to its counterparts, and with a competitive computational efficiency.
