چکیده
W e undertook a s tudy to determine i f the automatic detection and counting of vehicle passengers is feasible. An automated passenger counting sys tem would greatly facilitate the operation of freeway lanes reserved f o r buses, car-pools, and emergency vehicles (HO V lanes). In the present paper we report our findings regarding the appropriate sensor phenomenology and arrangement f o r the task. W e propose a novel sys tem based o n fus ion of near-infrared imaging signals and we demonstrate i ts adequacy with theoretical and experimental arguments.

متن کاملEnabling Adaptive Autonomy: Brain & Body Sensing for Adaptive Vehicles
Introduction The promise of advanced autonomous capabilities in vehicles has potentially game-changing implications for drivers and passengers on the road. As the role of the driver in the system moves from direct control of the vehicle to a more supervisory role, the possibilities for in-vehicle experiences open, as do the safety implications. To enable appropriate adaptive behavior of the in-...

This paper introduces active pedestrian protection system (APPS) project, which was fulfilled during last three years (Nov. 2006 – Oct. 2009) and supported by ministry of knowledge economy (MKE) of Korean government, and then summarizes its achievements. To reduce the number and severity of vehicle-pedestrian accident by active safety vehicle (ASV), false alarm rate should be minimized. For thi...
متن کاملKohonen Self Organizing for Automatic Identification of Cartographic Objects
Automatic identification and localization of cartographic objects in aerial and satellite images have gained increasing attention in recent years in digital photogrammetry and remote sensing. Although the automatic extraction of man made objects in essence is still an unresolved issue, the man made objects can be extracted from aerial photos and satellite images. Recently, the high-resolution s...
