Vehicle Occupant Head Distance Extraction Method using Stereo-Vision

چکیده
In recent years, the development of airbag system has improved the safety of the occupants. However, the car occupant can be often killed by improper airbag operation. Robust detection of vehicle occupant posture is necessary for a safer intelligent airbag deployment system. This paper presents a stereobased method of estimating the posture of the occupant. Utilizing the disparity images and the accumulated difference image, the SAD is executed in stereo images within the candidate region. Our experiments show that the property of stereo geometry is useful to detect and classify head position with the disparity between stereo images.

متن کاملSmall Object Detection Based on Stereo Vision*
Sensing the environment around the host vehicle is an essential task of autonomous driving systems and advanced driver assistance systems. Detecting small objects on road is one of the environment sensing tasks which LIDAR has some fundamental difficulties to handle. For example, assume a typical LIDAR, Velodyne HDL-32E, installed on the top of a vehicle with 2.4 meter high. According to the sp...
متن کاملStereo Vision-based Feature Extraction for Vehicle Detection
This paper presents a stereo vision system for vehicle detection. It has been conceived as the integration of two different subsystems. Initially a stereo vision based system is used to recover the most relevant 3D features in the scene; due to the algorithm’s generality, all the vertical features are extracted as potentially belonging to a vehicle in front of the vision system. This list of si...
