Vehicle environment description and interpretation using conceptual graphs

Abstract

The video-based driver assistance systems are an important part of the vehicle safety strategy. The ego vehicle environment description in several frames provided by monocular camera was used in this work to depict the relations between the ego vehicle and other objects, as well as the relations of those objects between each other. Based on this information the behavior of the objects could be predicted. The conceptual graphs application for a scene description and interpretation has been introduced and the functionality has been shown on the real traffic situation.
