TVICS: An Efficient Traffic Video Information Converting System

This paper presents a new system called TVICS that converts traffic video data into vehicular motion information in spatio-temporal databases. The TVICS system interpolates the vehicular trajectory data (time, location and velocity), which are extracted from video, and integrates them with spatial road information for the storage of dynamic transportation environments. TVICS can avoid the storage issues caused by traffic videos with their associated large data size. Moreover, users can manage and operate multiform and multidimensional traffic data in a spatio-temporal transportation environment. Experimental results show that TVICS has a high accuracy in transportation applications.
