Surveillance cameras are widely deployed traffic sensors, due to their affordable prices and being able to capture rich information. However, current surveillance systems have not been fully exploited: these cameras are isolated and can only extract information from their own fixed views. To enable a collaborative sensing system, we propose a novel framework called Traffic-Informed Multi-camera Sensing (TIMS) system for network-level traffic information estimation. By pushing multi-camera Re-IDentification (ReID) workflow towards network-wide traffic information extraction, TIMS system integrates a customized metric-learning vision-based vehicle ReID method (TIM-ReID) and establishing a traffic-informed workflow. To integrate the traffic network connection information along with visual and vehicle attributes features, the road network is extracted as a weighted graph through the Spatial-temporal Camera Graph Inference Model (StCGIM) and serves for matching and re-ranking ReID candidates. Moreover, an Accuracy Model (AAM) is designed to provide accurate, reliable and comprehensive traffic information estimation, including both the values and distribution of parameters under a high penetration rate. In experiments based on real-world multi-camera datasets captured in the city of Seattle, the customized TIM-ReID outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, and delivers accurate cross-camera information estimation, whose value error is less than 8% and the Kullback-Leibler (KL) distance between the estimated and real distribution is less than 3.42 among all the evaluated camera pairs. TIMS system empowers cameras to work collaboratively through an interactive brain, and provides users with valuable and comprehensive traffic information.
