Diseño de un sistema de detección de velocidad de desplazamiento de automóviles utilizando el sistema embebido NI myRio y procesamiento de imágenes.

Abstract

The present research project involves designing and developing a system based on image processing and using the embedded NI myRio device to determine the speed of vehicles as they pass a specific distance. The main objective was to develop a program capable of capturing real-time data, tracking vehicles from an initial position to a final one, and thus determining the time taken to pass through the points above; with the data obtained, the speed of the vehicles was calculated. First, extensive research was conducted to properly understand the characteristics and devices to be used in image processing, which was crucial for program development. The use of the NI myRio device proved to be an optimal choice due to its ability to reduce energy consumption in a computer while providing better performance for image acquisition and processing. Considering these insights, programming was carried out in blocks, with a primary focus on image capture precision for subsequent analysis using LabVIEW program tools. Finally, tests were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the speed detection system, which demonstrated a high similarity between the measurements made with image processing and data obtained from a program installed on a mobile phone.
