Abstract

In this paper, a traffic cone localization and angle measurement system is designed from the perspective of digital image processing based on monocular camera. The system can assist the traffic cone cart to automatically identify and locate the traffic cones during the process of collecting traffic cones. The angle of the traffic cone is measured when it is laying down based on the positional relationship of the feature points. In order to verify the reliability of the system, we adjust the images collected by the camera, then we recognize the colors and process the images morphology to determine whether the traffic cones exist in the image, finally we get the real positions and the angles in physical space by geometric relation deductive method on the simulation platform VS2010+OpenCV. The measurement error is within an accept range since its mistakes are all less than 2 cm during the tests. The experimental results show that the system can identify the traffic cones on the road surface effectively and calculate its position and angle information, which can satisfy the needs of the traffic cone cart.
