This paper describes the application of motion estimation on omni camera to perform surround analysis using an automobile mounted camera. The system detects and tracks the surrounding vehicles by compensating the ego-motion and detecting objects having independent motion. Prior knowledge about ego-motion and calibration is optimally combined with the information from the image gradients to get better motion compensation.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"58 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":"115165683","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 system automatically detects obstacles in the pantograph gauge at a distance of up to 70 m and retracts the pantograph before collision with an obstacle. Due to the multitude of similar-looking objects within an epipolar line, the algorithms developed gives false obstacle warnings in over 0.7% of the images. With recognition of steady arms, the reliability of the system is improved considerably. With a constant detection ratio, false obstacle warnings can be reduced by 28%.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"4 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":"121776868","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 paper, a real-time pose estimation algorithm based on vision is proposed and implemented. The ground plane assumption is used to simplify the interframe motion model to a 2D plane motion model, which reduces the computation and avoids the difficulty in feature point selection in outdoor environments. This algorithm is composed of two parts: the Gradient Angle Histogram algorithm and the Iterative Gradient Closest Point algorithm. The fusion of these two algorithms successfully addresses the local minimum problem and the high computation problem with the ICP algorithm. Experimental results with both synthetic data and real data prove the high accuracy, low computation, and high robustness to outliers in this algorithm.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"1 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":"122556965","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}

Systems of this kind are intended to monitor driver-vehicle behavior and environmental surroundings in order to warn the driver of possible dangerous situations, and work by constantly comparing the real vehicle maneuver to a recommended reference maneuver planned by optimal control. The latter (the optimal control reference maneuver) is based on safety criteria, in which a proper \"risk function\" is minimized. In this paper the case of \"safe speed\" is preliminarily addressed. The influence of different risk function formulations (for safe speed) on system performance is investigated. Simulations are carried out for a vehicle running along a S-shaped curve at constant speed, and the driving advices resulting from safe-optimal reference maneuvers are analyzed.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"1 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":"129305325","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 IVC systems that use a spread spectrum communication (SS) scheme, it is necessary for each vehicle to know the PN code used to receive information and more than two equivalent PN codes must not be used in one communication area to avoid interference. Therefore, an appropriate scheme to assign a PN code to each communication under limited number of available PN codes. Especially it is necessary to assign PN codes efficiently to transmit incident information because it is very important for safety and many information transmissions are expected under an incident situation. Performance of incident information transmission based on the IVC system that assigns a PN code used by each vehicle to the absolute location on the road is analyzed. As the result of computer simulations, good performance is confirmed.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"65 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":"129363632","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 the navigation mode, the supervisor specifies high-level missions on the previously acquired survey maps. A motion planner, then, translates each mission into a set of consecutive navigation actions, separated by natural landmarks. Mission execution consists of detecting landmarks, self-localizing and performing the planned navigation actions.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"18 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":"129539971","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}

Our PROTECTOR system combines pedestrian detection, trajectory estimation, risk assessment and driver warning. The paper pursues a \"system approach\" related to the detection component. An optimization scheme models the system as a succession of individual modules and finds a good overall parameter setting by combining individual ROCs using a convex-hull technique. On the experimental side, we present a methodology for the validation of the pedestrian detection performance in an actual vehicle setting. We hope this test methodology to contribute towards the establishment of benchmark testing, enabling this application to mature. We validate the PROTECTOR system using the proposed methodology and present interesting quantitative results based on tens of thousands of images from hours of driving. Although results are promising, more research is needed before such systems can be placed at the hands of ordinary vehicle drivers.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"1 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":"130167194","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}
