Cross-Correlation to Assess the State of Traffic Jam in CCTV Systems

The cities where economic activities are becoming increasingly successful are facing a problem of traffic jam. Most of the time spent there is lost, no longer being used for work or leisure. In this paper, we propose a scheme for assessing the state of congestion from the operation of the cross-correlation between successive frames transmission in a CCTV (Closed-circuit television) system. The tests of the proposed method are realized on a standardized dataset at different times of the day. Thus the results obtained make it possible to alert about traffic jams.
