Visual recognition of obstacles on roads
نویسندگان
چکیده
As part of a driver support system for motor vehicles on freeways an obstacle recognition system was developed within the EUREKA project PROMETHEUS over the last four years. The obstacle recognition system uses a single monochrome TV camera and a multi-processor robot vision system. The recognition system includes a road tracker and an obstacle detector that were described in previous publications, and an object classification and tracking module presented here. The module is based on generic 2-D object models. It recognizes obstacles in real time and from distances of 200 to 300 m, sufficient for high-speed driving. The module was extensively tested in real-world scenes on the German Autobahn and on various other roads, including city streets with heavy traffic.

متن کاملMaximizing the Wildlife Conservation Value of Road Right-of-Ways in an Agriculturally Dominated Landscape
There has been a growing recognition that the narrow linear strips of uncultivated vegetation that lie between roads and agricultural crops, referred to as roadside right-of-ways or verges, can serve as areas for the conservation of wildlife. The features of right-of-ways that should influence the composition of wildlife communities vary considerably. Our goal was to determine what features of ...
متن کاملThe Assessment of Applying Chaos Theory for Daily Traffic Estimation
Road traffic volumes in intercity roads are generally estimated by probability functions, statistical techniques or meta-heuristic approaches such as artificial neural networks. As the road traffic volumes depend on input variables and mainly road geometrical design, weather conditions, day or night time, weekend or national holidays and so on, these are also estimated by pattern recognition te...
