摘要：Vehicle detection and identification and safe distance keeping technology have become the main content of current intelligent transportation system research. Among them, vehicle detection and recognition is one of the most important research contents, and it is also crucial to the safe driving of vehicles. Real-time detection and recognition of current vehicles can effectively prevent the occurrence of malignant traffic accidents such as rear-end collision. Because the infrared image has some shortcomings such as poor contrast, loud noise, and blurred edge, this paper mainly studies the color space preprocessing of the image and uses threshold segmentation method and infrared image enhancement to segment the front vehicle and background. That is to say, by analyzing the infrared image captured by infrared CCD, we use median filter to remove noise from the collected infrared image and then use the improved histogram equalization to enhance the contrast of the image. Vertical Sobel operator is selected to enhance the vertical edge of the image, and the image is segmented by binary segmentation method. Finally, vehicle detection and recognition are realized by vertical edge symmetry, aspect ratio, and gray-scale symmetry. The experimental image and experimental data analysis results show that the image processing technology studied in this paper has achieved the intended research purpose.
