Abstract

Most Congestion analysis are based on the urban traffic video surveillance, which depend on the quality of existing surveillance equipments. In this paper, we propose a novel method to perform congestion analysis by utilizing remote sensing images for undeveloped areas or disaster-affected areas where lack of traffic video surveillance. Firstly, the vehicles and extract road area is detected from remote sensing images using objects detection technique. Then the number of Vehicles in the road are counted and mapped into data instances. Finally, density-based clustering algorithm is adopted to find the locations which are probably the Congestion points. The experimental results on real world datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can perform congestion analysis effectively.
