Abstract:
Testing and evaluating advanced traffic video detection algorithms and systems requires photorealistic source material to be generated. As recording real life traffic situations has severe limitations, a Tunnel Simulator is developed to create custom test scenarios within tunnels. The Tunnel Simulator enables the creation of custom tunnels by setting properties for the tunnel and individual traffic events. Based on the settings, a photorealistic 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 in order to test the video detection algorithms on it. The presented Tunnel Simulator is the first high-quality traffic simulator that succeeds in generating photorealistic source material that can be used to evaluate traffic video detection algorithms.
