Traffic Measurement of Traffic Light Based on Binocular Vision
Abstract— The accidents of the traffic light intersection have posed a great threat to the safety of people's
life and property. In this paper, we study a kind of the front of the traffic light distance measuring technology
based on binocular vision, through two CCD cameras capture the image information in front of traffic lights
from different perspectives, we get two pieces of binocular images at the left and right , which are
processed、positioned，and then, we find the matching points of the corresponding feature with using a
global matching method of feature point extracted, which obtain parallax，then according to the principle of
triangulation again, we restore the three-dimensional information of the measured object and depth of
information to achieve the distance in front of traffic lights measurement. The experimental simulation
results show that the design can effectively measure the distance in front of the traffic light, simple and
effective, and has the high accuracy of measurement.
