A Near-Infrared Fusion Scheme for Automatic Detection of Vehicle Passengers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We undertook a study to determine if the automatic detection and counting of vehicle passengers is feasible. An automated passenger counting system would greatly facilitate the operation of freeway lanes reserved for car-pools (HOV lanes). In the present paper we report our findings regarding the appropriate sensor phenomenology and arrangement for the task. We propose a novel system based on fusion of near-infrared imaging signals and we demonstrate its adequacy with theoretical and experimental arguments.

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...
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-...
متن کاملReducing Light Change Effects in Automatic Road Detection
Automatic road extraction from aerial images can be very helpful in traffic control and vehicle guidance systems. Most of the road detection approaches are based on image segmentation algorithms. Color-based segmentation is very sensitive to light changes and consequently the change of weather condition affects the recognition rate of road detection systems. In order to reduce the light change ...
