| Abstract: | Background Competitive and social forces drive the need for more advanced traffic video detection systems. Researchers are challenged to develop new algorithms in order to satisfy the growing demand for increased performance, reliability and new tracking features. Testing and evaluating these newly developed systems requires new photorealistic source material to be generated. Historically this was done by recording real life traffic situation. This method has severe limitations such as driving a burning vehicle trough tunnel filled with regular traffic. Therefore, a Tunnel Simulator was developed, in cooperation with Traficon, which enables developers to create their own custom test scenarios. Results The developed Tunnel Simulator enables users to create a tunnel with custom traffic events by setting properties for the tunnel and each individual event. As a result, a scene is generated with the specified tunnel, traffic events and ground truth. The scene can then be previewed in real time 3D view and/or rendered. Additional (optional) tools are provided to set up a render farm for quicker results. Conclusion The source material generated by the Tunnel Simulator is well received by Traficon. Preliminary tests satisfy the developers’ current expectations and needs. More research is required to shorten the render time. Also, more scenes (e.g. highways, urban traffic, crossroads, etc), more traffic events (e.g. introducing pedestrians) and more vehicles (e.g. more vehicle models, physics for crashes, etc) need to be constructed to satisfy future industry requirements. |
