Book Computer Vision for Driver Assistance

Download or read book Computer Vision for Driver Assistance written by Mahdi Rezaei and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarises the state of the art in computer vision-based driver and road monitoring, focussing on monocular vision technology in particular, with the aim to address challenges of driver assistance and autonomous driving systems. While the systems designed for the assistance of drivers of on-road vehicles are currently converging to the design of autonomous vehicles, the research presented here focuses on scenarios where a driver is still assumed to pay attention to the traffic while operating a partially automated vehicle. Proposing various computer vision algorithms, techniques and methodologies, the authors also provide a general review of computer vision technologies that are relevant for driver assistance and fully autonomous vehicles. Computer Vision for Driver Assistance is the first book of its kind and will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, engineers and those generally interested in computer vision-related topics in modern vehicle design.

Book Vision based Vehicle Guidance

Download or read book Vision based Vehicle Guidance written by Ichiro Masaki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing social interest in developing vision-based vehicle guidance systems for improving traffic safety and efficiency and the environment. Ex amples of vision-based vehicle guidance systems include collision warning systems, steering control systems for tracking painted lane marks, and speed control systems for preventing rear-end collisions. Like other guidance systems for aircraft and trains, these systems are ex pected to increase traffic safety significantly. For example, safety improve ments of aircraft landing processes after the introduction of automatic guidance systems have been reported to be 100 times better than prior to installment. Although the safety of human lives is beyond price, the cost for automatic guidance could be compensated by decreased insurance costs. It is becoming more important to increase traffic safety by decreasing the human driver's load in our society, especially with an increasing population of senior people who continue to drive. The second potential social benefit is the improvement of traffic efficiency by decreasing the spacing between vehicles without sacrificing safety. It is reported, for example, that four times the efficiency is expected if the spacing between cars is controlled automatically at 90 cm with a speed of 100 kmjh compared to today's typical manual driving. Although there are a lot of tech nical, psychological, and social issues to be solved before realizing the high density jhigh-speed traffic systems described here, highly efficient highways are becoming more important because of increasing traffic congestion.

Book Learning  Modeling  and Understanding Vehicle Surround Using Multi Modal Sensing

Download or read book Learning Modeling and Understanding Vehicle Surround Using Multi Modal Sensing written by Sayanan Sivaraman and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation seeks to enable intelligent vehicles to see, to infer context, and to understand the on-road environment. We provide a review of the literature in on-road vision-based vehicle detection, tracking, and behavior understanding. Placing vision-based vehicle detection in the context of sensor-based on-road surround analysis, we discuss monocular, stereo-vision, and active sensor-vision fusion for on-road vehicle detection. We discuss vehicle tracking in the monocular and stereo-vision domains, analyzing filtering, estimation, and dynamical models. We introduce relevant terminology for treatment of on-road behavior, and provide perspective on future research directions in the field. We introduce a general active learning framework for on-road vehicle detection and tracking. Active learning consists of initial training, query of informative samples, and retraining, yielding improved performance with data efficiency. In this work, active learning reduces false positives by an order of magnitude. The generality of active learning for vehicle detection is demonstrated via learning experiments performed with detectors based on Histogram of Oriented Gradient features and SVM classification [HOG-SVM], and Haar-like features and Adaboost Classification [Haar-Adaboost] . Learning approaches are assessed in terms of the time spent annotating, data required, recall, and precision. We introduce a synergistic approach to integrated lane and vehicle tracking for driver assistance. Integration improves lane tracking accuracy in dense traffic, while reducing vehicle tracking false positives. Further, system integration yields lane-level localization, providing higher-level context. We introduce vehicle detection by independent parts for urban driver assistance, for detecting oncoming, preceding, side-view, and partially occluded vehicles in urban driving. The full system is real-time capable, and compares favorably with state-of-the-art vehicle detectors, while operating 30 times as fast. We present a novel probabilistic compact representation of the on-road environment, the Dynamic Probabilistic Drivability Map (DPDM), and demonstrate its utility for predictive lane change and merge [LCM] driver assistance during highway and urban driving. A general, flexible, probabilistic representation, the DPDM readily integrates data from a variety of sensing modalities, functioning as a platform for sensor-equipped intelligent vehicles. Based on the DPDM, the real-time LCM system recommends the required acceleration and timing to safely merge or change lanes with minimum cost.

Book Vision based Pedestrian Protection Systems for Intelligent Vehicles

Download or read book Vision based Pedestrian Protection Systems for Intelligent Vehicles written by David Geronimo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPSs) are on-board systems aimed at detecting and tracking people in the surroundings of a vehicle in order to avoid potentially dangerous situations. These systems, together with other Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as lane departure warning or adaptive cruise control, are one of the most promising ways to improve traffic safety. By the use of computer vision, cameras working either in the visible or infra-red spectra have been demonstrated as a reliable sensor to perform this task. Nevertheless, the variability of human’s appearance, not only in terms of clothing and sizes but also as a result of their dynamic shape, makes pedestrians one of the most complex classes even for computer vision. Moreover, the unstructured changing and unpredictable environment in which such on-board systems must work makes detection a difficult task to be carried out with the demanded robustness. In this brief, the state of the art in PPSs is introduced through the review of the most relevant papers of the last decade. A common computational architecture is presented as a framework to organize each method according to its main contribution. More than 300 papers are referenced, most of them addressing pedestrian detection and others corresponding to the descriptors (features), pedestrian models, and learning machines used. In addition, an overview of topics such as real-time aspects, systems benchmarking and future challenges of this research area are presented.

Book Autonomous Systems  Developments and Trends

Download or read book Autonomous Systems Developments and Trends written by Herwig Unger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-30 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Workshops on Autonomous Systems emanated from a gathering with the doctoral students of just three chairs at Fernuniversität in Hagen, which we organise twice per year for a number of years now. Their purpose is to discuss on-going research and to create a community spirit. Furthermore, they serve as a means of structuring the students' research processes. The workshop has grown and matured in several respects. The doctoral students presenting their work do not come from a single university anymore, but from three. Besides them and their supervisors, also other scientists became interested in the event and contribute to its programme. Following the model of Advanced Study Institutes, they are available on the premises for relaxed, informal discussions outside the formal sessions. Finally, with the co-sponsorship of Gesellschaft für Informatik, the German Computer Society, and this surprisingly comprehensive volume of contributions published by Springer-Verlag the workshop turned into a visible scientific event.
