Avoiding Forward Car Collision using Stereo Vision System

Stereo Vision System on Automobile for Collision Avoidance

Stereo Vision-based Forward Obstacle Detection

−This paper proposes a stereo vision-based forward obstacle detection and distance measurement method. In general, stereo vision-based obstacle detection methods in automotive applications can be classified into two categories: IPM (Inverse Perspective Mapping)-based and disparity histogram-based. The existing disparity histogram-based method was developed for stop-and-go applications. The prop...

Face-Direction Estimating System Using Stereo Vision

|We developed the system which can estimate the face-direction of a person with two cameras using stereo vision. In this system, the eyes and the mouth are extracted in each image for measurement of their 3D position by matching the each feature in the one image with in the other. Then, face direction is obtained from the normal of the plane which is determined by the 3D coordinates of the feat...

A practical stereo vision system

We have built a high-speed, physically robust stereo ranging system. We describe our experiences with this system on several autonomous robot vehicles. We use a custom built, trinocular stereo jig and three specially modified CCD cameras. Stereo matching is per$ormed using the sum-ofsum-of-squared differences technique.

Localization based on vision using stereo System and SIFT features

The traditional method uses the GPS signal to determine the location of a vehicle or Mobile Robot, but these methods sometimes fail to determine the exact position of the object especially in urban areas, or inside buildings. It fails to determine the position for multiple reasons such as the multi-fading path, obstacles, rain, and snow which all have an effect on the signal of the GPS. The dev...
