Vision-Based Blind Spot Detection Using Optical Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a vision-based system for blind spot detection in intelligent vehicle applications. A camera is mounted in the lateral mirror of a car with the intention of visually detecting cars that can not be perceived by the vehicle driver since they are located in the so-called blind spot. The detection of cars in the blind spot is carried out using computer vision techniques, based on optical flow and data clustering, as described in the following lines.

Overtaking Vehicle Detection Using Implicit Optical Flow
We describe an optical flow based obstacle detection system for use in detecting vehicles approaching the blind spot of a car on highways and city streets. The system runs at near frame rate (8-15 frames/second) on PC hardware. We will discuss the prediction of a camera image given an implicit optical flow field and comparison with the actual camera image. The advantage to this approach is that...
متن کاملFPGA Implementation of a Vision-Based Blind Spot Warning System
Vision-based intelligent vehicle applications often require large amounts of memory to handle video streaming and image processing, which in turn increases complexity of hardware and software. This paper presents an FPGA implement of a vision-based blind spot warning system. Using video frames, the information of the blind spot area turns into one-dimensional information. Analysis of the estima...
متن کاملReal-time Pedestrian Detection in a Truck's Blind Spot Camera
In this paper we present a multi-pedestrian detection and tracking framework targeting a specific application: detecting vulnerable road users in a truck’s blind spot zone. Research indicates that existing non-vision based safety solutions are not able to handle this problem completely. Therefore we aim to develop an active safety system which warns the truck driver if pedestrians are present i...
متن کاملA Warping Window Approach to Real-time Vision-based Pedestrian Detection in a Truck's Blind Spot Zone
We present a vision-based pedestrian tracking system targeting a very specific application: avoiding accidents in the blind spot zone of trucks. Existing blind spot safety systems do not offer a complete solution to this problem. Therefore we propose an active alarm system, which warns the truck driver if vulnerable road users occur in the blind spot zone. Our system is based solely on a vision...
متن کاملPosition and Vector Detection of Blind Spot motion with the Horn-Schunck Optical Flow
The goal of the research is to create a cost-effective way to detect the presence of a vehicle in the blind spot in real time by computing its position and relative motion. To do, we adapted the Horn-Schunck Optical Flow method [1] , which traces pixels onto the next frame and draws vector arrows representing the movement of the pixels[4]. The vectors were hen categorized into car and backgroun...
