Automatic Detection of Traffic Accidents from Video Using Deep Learning Techniques

According to worldwide statistics, traffic accidents are the cause of a high percentage of violent deaths. The time taken to send the medical response to the accident site is largely affected by the human factor and correlates with survival probability. Due to this and the wide use of video surveill...
