Very often car-parks are already equipped with CCTV-cameras for surveillance purposes which may be used for automatic detection systems as well. Our system is targeted on cases where occupancy values are sought, but exact solutions like automatic gates or induction loops are too costly and where estimate values are acceptable for the operator. The image processing for the vehicle classification basically works by constructing a reference image of the empty car-park given in the input image and then comparing those two. The occupancy estimate is determined by the vehicle to car-park pixel area ratio, where perspective distortion and occlusion is compensated.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122267864","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}

A promising approach to real-time sign detection is to reduce the number of pixels to be classified as being a particular sign to a minimum by some form of sign detection on the image using less time expensive algorithms. In this paper, we adapt the fast radial symmetry detector to the image stream from a camera mounted in a car eliminate almost all non-sign pixels from the image stream. We then are able to apply normalised cross-correlation to classify the signs. This method is suitable for circular signs only; we apply it to Australian speed signs in this paper. Our results show that it is robust to a broad range of lighting conditions. Also, as the method is fast, there is no need to make unrealistic-ally strict assumptions about image structure.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"45 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133008165","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 algorithms processing the data captured by these sensors are streaming in nature and require high levels of processing power. Due to the characteristics of the automotive market, this processing power has to be delivered under very low energy and cost budgets. The Reconfigurable Streaming Vector Processing (RSVP/spl trade/) is a vector coprocessor architecture which accelerates streaming data processing. This paper presents the RSVP architecture, programming model, and a first implementation. Our results show significant speedups on data streaming functions. Running compiled code, RSVP outperforms an ARM9 host processor on average by a factor of 31 on a set of kernels. From a performance/$ and performance/mW perspective, RSVP compares favorably with leading DSP architectures. The time to market is substantially reduced due to ease of programmability, elimination of hand-tuned assembly code, and support for software re-use through binary compatibility across multiple implementations.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130567132","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 achieve this, we use local adaptive threshold and local probability for detecting the driving region and for detecting the driving possible region, respectively. Here are the three main aspects. The first one is the driving region detection. For this we use the local adaptive threshold. The second one is to recognize the driving possible region. To do this, we use a randomly selected initial seed and its extension using the distance between local probabilities. The third one is to combine the driving and the driving possible regions. It gives better results for safe autonomous driving. Sometimes, the driving region is not detected correctly due to very great noise factors. In this case the possible driving region still helps autonomous driving.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"383 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132170594","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}
