The University of Marylands Center for Advanced Transportation Technology CATT encompasses several research projects that are supported by a combination of user grant funding and user fees One of its current research efforts involves assisting the American Automobile Association Foundation AAAF with a study of Slow Down Move Over law compliance in the United States Part of this research includes processing highway camera video through UMDs Object Detection and Tracking ODT software To support this research CATT is looking for students to support one or two aspects of this research Students may submit applications in one or both of the following research areas1 Highway Camera Video Monitoring amp Capture Monitor highway incidents and nearby highway camera video feeds to determine if captured video would be processable via the ODT software Capture video using common screen capturing software tools at the highest resolution possible Coordinate with local Traffic Management Centers to adjust highway camera viewsframing to improve the quality of captured video if available 2 Video Application ProcessingAnalysis Find matching points on a still frames from a videos field of view as well as on an aerial map of the video study area Mark matching points and extract their coordinates pixels and latitudelongitude to populate a table Generate masks for specific lanes in the cameras field of view in order to focus the ODT process on vehicles that are potentially subject to move over law requirements Run python scripts to prepare data files and to extract information that will be used by other researchers
