Abstract
Many ITS systems suffer from high false alarm rates due to static glare. Static glare appears in video scenes when the road is wet and light originating from static light source, such as road lamp, is reflected on the road. Often an Automatic Incidents Detection (AID) system will detect occurrences of static glare as incidents, causing the generation of false alarms. In this paper, an effective real-time algorithm is proposed to detect static glare. This algorithm generates a static glare map that can be used by an AID system to avoid static glare false alarms.
