The goal of such a system is to create a harmonic, consistent and complete representation of the vehicle environment as a base for future advanced driver assistance systems. In addition to a mathematical formulation of the problem we present a robust algorithm to detect dynamic obstacles from the occupancy map and show how both, the mapping process and the tracking can benefit from each other. Therefore, the concept of moving objects with associated dynamic cells is introduced. The presented techniques are applicable to both 2D and 3D mapping and can be also extended to correct the ego motion from the occupancy map and the object tracks. Unlike many publications over the last years our work provides real time performance and an accurate detection of obstacles with real laser and radar sensors and can fulfill the requirements of future driver assistance systems.","PeriodicalId":123266,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127963395","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}

To deal with dramatic appearance changes of a bicycle according to different viewpoints as well as nonrigid nature of human appearance, a method is proposed which employs complementary detection and tracking algorithms. In the detection phase, we use multiple view-based detectors: frontal, rear, and right/left side view. For each view detector, a linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used for object classification in combination with Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) which is one of the most discriminative features. Furthermore, a real-time enhancement for the detection process is implemented using the Integral Histogram method and a coarse-to-fine cascade approach. Tracking phase is performed by a multiple patch-based Lucas-Kanade tracker. We first run the Harris corner detector over the bounding box which is the result of our detector. Each of the corner points can be a good feature to track and, in consequence, becomes a template of each instance of multiple Lucas-Kanade trackers. To manage the set of patches efficiently, a novel method based on spectral clustering algorithm is proposed. Quantitative experiments have been conducted to show the effectiveness of each component of the proposed framework.","PeriodicalId":123266,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131090181","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}

The predominant restrictions in our application are a strongly limited field of observations and a weakly defined illumination environment. To overcome these problems, we estimate the parameters of an extended Oren-Nayar model that considers the diffuse and specular behavior of real-world surfaces and extrapolate the surface reflectivity measurements to unobservable angle combinations. Model ambiguities are decreased by utilizing standardized as well as customized reflection characteristics. In contrast to existing approaches that require special measurement setups, our approach can be implemented in vision-based driver assistance systems using radiometrically uncalibrated gray value cameras and GPS information. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated by a successful classification of the road surface reflectance of expressway scenes with low error rates.","PeriodicalId":123266,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133236342","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}

The FCW system uses time to collision (TTC) to trigger the warning.In order to compute time to collision (TTC), firstly, haar and adaboost algorithm is utilized to detect the vehicle; Secondly, we use simplified Lucas-Kanade algorithm and virtual edge to remove false positive detection and use automatic image matting to do detection refinement; Thirdly, hierarchical tracking system is introduced for vehicle tracking; Camera calibration is utilized to get the headway distance and TTC at last.
