In detection stage, for the purpose of reducing the computational load and further decreasing the error detection rate of speed limit sign, a novel de-noising method based on HOG is presented and apply it to Fast Radial Symmetry Transform approach for circle signs detector. In recognition stage, firstly, a method of Fourier-wavelet descriptor is introduced to extract rotation invariant features which can recognize slant speed limit signs. Then the Support Vector Machines with Binary Tree Architecture are designed to identify categories of signs. Supplementary traffic signs are used to alter the meaning of speed limit signs. We propose an algorithm which is able to recognize supplementary signs with slightly rotated in a region below recognized speed limit signs. Experimental results in different conditions, including sunny, cloudy and rainy weather demonstrate that most speed limit signs and supplementary signs can be correctly detected and recognized with a high accuracy and the average processing time is less then 33ms per frame on a standard 2.8 GHz dual-core PC.","PeriodicalId":117811,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116992683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It therefore plays an important role in vision-based driver assistance systems. The strength of the algorithm comes from the integration of multiple 1D energy paths which are minimized along eight different directions across the image domain. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, a thorough evaluation of stereo matching quality is performed when the number of accumulation paths is reduced. Second, an alteration of semi-global matching is proposed that operates only on half of the image domain without losing disparity resolution. The evaluation is performed on four real-world driving sequences of 400 frames each, as well as on 396 frames of a synthetic image sequence where sub-pixel accurate ground truth is available. Results indicate that a reduction of accumulation paths is a very good option to improve the run-time performance without losing significant quality, even on sub-pixel level. Furthermore, operating semiglobal matching only on half the image yields almost identical results to the corresponding full path integration. This approach yields the potential to further speed up the runtime and could also be exploited for other alterations of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":117811,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"485 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123034908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this method, firstly we divided cases into three; the case of reaching the destination straight from the departure point, the case of stopping at one charging station and the case of stopping at several charging stations. In the cases of stopping over at least one charging station, potential charging stations are selected first, and then a route is obtained by Dijkstra's algorithm from routes with some of those stations. Travel distance, estimated travel time between charge stations and time to fully charge after the EV's arrival at each charging stations are calculated and also used for the calculation of travel cost between charging stations. Offering these routes for EV users will eliminate some of the major concerns about EVs such as limited range or sparse charging stations and will contribute to the spread of EVs. In order to confirm appropriateness of the route and examine the impact of increased execution time by this method, authors implemented the method and compared its execution time with that of conventional route search method. As a result, we confirmed that this method calculates routes with accessible charging stations according to the EV's range. We also found that the search of charging stations with this method requires extra execution time, but the time increases by less than a half of the time required for the search of the route with some of these stations by conventional method.","PeriodicalId":117811,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115820937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is illustrated for a Highly Automated driving System with speed keeping, distance keeping and lane changing functionalities on highways (HAS). The requirements legal safety places upon HAS components are presented, with a special focus on the co-pilot which calculates a safe trajectory for the vehicle based on perception of lanes and traffic signs and prediction of the trajectories of objects in the environment. A lane coordinate system is proposed as a powerful reference for the trajectory calculations of the co-pilot.

We first perform image registration of road regions between these images, and then, we generate a large road image by performing image mosaicing of road regions in invehicle camera images.

The integrated system combines neurobiological models with computer vision techniques for traffic monitoring from surveillance video leading to MSI and event recognition. Evaluation of the system is carried out in terms of actual, psychophysical as well as neurobiological criteria on both simulated and real data. Results demonstrate event and mental state recognition convergence within 0.5 normalized time units for the designed event models on synthetic and real data. The model is also robust to perturbations and is aligned to behavior expected at the psychophysical level.","PeriodicalId":117811,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116647841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose an Extended Digital Map is proposed that contains the detailed information about the intersection infrastructure: detailed landmarks accurately measured and positioned on the map. The data alignment mechanism is thus based on superimposing the sensorial detected landmarks with the corresponding, correctly positioned map landmarks stored in the new Extended Digital Map. The data Alignment Algorithm requires as input, beside the information from the two input systems, the ego-vehicle driving lane. This information is inferred by using a probabilistic approach in the form of a Bayesian Network; the uncertain and noisy character of the sensorial data require such a probabilistic approach in the quest of the ego-lane.","PeriodicalId":117811,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117144661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bag of visual words approach requires training in order to cluster invariant descriptors and learn the data distribution depending on the classification algorithm. Once the model is created, the category of every test image can be determined by querying a visual dictionary like searching a word in a text dictionary. The performance of the classifiers will be evaluated doing several comparative tests and using standard multi-category image databases.
