Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1710767A1] The method involves processing images acquired from images of a road segment to detect the presence of an impeding object e.g. damaged vehicles. Vehicles simultaneously present on the segment are counted from data collected by two detectors of the vehicles respectively placed at an entrance and an exit of the segment. An automatic activation of the acquisition of images is controlled based on the counting and an automatic activation of the image processing is controlled based on the counting. An independent claim is also included for an impeding object presence detecting system.
