Abstract
A number of researches on vision-based traffic monitoring system have been carried out. Most of traffic monitoring schemes belong to one of two categories: analyzing of entire traffic scene and examining of local region. However, the proposed methods suffer from severe performance deterioration when applied in different operating conditions because of the loss of robustness. This paper is aimed at surveying various methods proposed and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of these methods. Also we propose and investigate appropriate approaches to solve the problems in specific applications.
