Road Traffic Analysis Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Image Processing Algorithms

The paper presents the results obtained by applying the "Data from Sky" algorithms on the video images captured by the DJI Mavic 2Pro drone. The images were obtained by aerial filming in an interurban area in Cluj County and subsequently analyzed to obtain conclusive results. By uploading the video image on the online platform "Data from Sky" we got a fully automatic service for extracting traffic data. The file generated online was exploited to obtain tangible results from the video such as: Traffic flow, Average and instantaneous speeds, classification on vehicle categories, accelerations and decelerations of each vehicle, distance travelled by each vehicle in the video.
