Recently, the problem of automatic traffic accident recognition has appealed to the machine vision community due to its implications on the development of autonomous Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). In this paper, a new fr a mework for real-time automated traffic accidents recognition using Histogram of Flow Gradient (HFG) is proposed. This fr a mework performs two major steps. First, HFG-based features are extracted from video shots. Second, logistic regression is employed to develop a model for the probability of occurrence of an accident by fitting data to a logistic curve. In case of occurrence of an accident, the trajectory of vehicle by which the accident was occasioned is determined.
