Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Vehicle counting is one of the fundamental tasks in the intelligent transportation system (ITS). We are developing an acoustic vehicle count system that relies on two microphones at a sidewalk. The system extracts key data reflecting the road traffic conditions from received audio signals using a correlation based algorithm, the data recorded is called sound map. However, the acoustic vehicle count system suffers from a sparse sound map problem; a sound map becomes weak when multiple vehicles pass in front of the microphones. This paper therefore presents a new algorithm called enhanced sound mapping to address the sparse sound map problem. Comparison between original and enhance sound maps are presented theoretically and experimentally.
