Traffic Light Detection for Red Light Violation System

The goal of Red Light Violation Detection System RLVDS is to track down vehicles that violated traffic regulations using surveillance cameras and image processing techniques. A complete automated red light runner detection algorithm that satisfies real time requirement and gives higher accuracy have been developed. The system detects simultaneously a traffic light sequence, stop line and detection region to detect moving vehicles and capture the vehicles beyond the stop line while the light is red and finally generates the red light running vehicle images with date and time information. In this paper, we propose a traffic light detection algorithm which is one of the processes of automated red light runner detection system. The proposed traffic light detection system includes four steps color space conversion based on RGB color space, some regions are extracted as candidates of a traffic light and morphological operation is applied to eliminate disturbance in the environment that can interfere with the traffic light states. Then, the types of traffic signals are judged by calculating image moments and the results of experiment show that the system is stable and reliable.
