Real-Time Vision-Based Vehicle Detection for Rear-End Collision Mitigation Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a real-time vision-based system that detects vehicles approaching from the rear in order to anticipate possible rear-end collisions. A camera mounted on the rear of the vehicle provides images which are analysed by means of computer vision techniques. The detection of candidates is carried out using the top-hat transform in combination with intensity and edge-based symmetries. The candidates are classified by using a Support Vector Machine-based classifier (SVM) with Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG features). Finally, the position of each vehicle is tracked using a Kalman filter and template matching techniques. The proposed system is tested using image data collected in real traffic conditions.

A Monte Carlo Simulation of Chain Reaction Rear End Potential Collisions on Freeways
In recent research on modelling road collisions very little attention has been paid to rear-end chain reaction collisions, which is characterized by more than two vehicles involved in a collision at the same time. The core aim of the present research is to develop a methodology to estimate such potential collision probabilities based on a proactive perspective, where deceleration rate to avoid...
متن کاملV2V Wireless Communication Protocol for Rear-End Collision Avoidance on Highways
More than 23% of annual vehicle accidents are rear-end collisions, which provides an important test-case for enhanced collision avoidance approaches based on v2v wireless communications. In this work, we propose and study the impact of a 802.11 based multi-hop MAC protocol that propagates an emergency warning message (EWM) down a platoon of cars on a highway. The design objective is to ensure r...
متن کاملLong distance moving vehicle detection using rear lamp at night
This paper proposes a vehicle detection system for identifying the moving vehicles at night which is far distance away by locating their rear-lights in the road. Many advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), such as collision mitigation, automatic cruise control (ACC) and automatic headlamp dimming were proposed by many researchers for driver assistance. We present a novel image processing sy...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Performance-based Approach for Collision Avoidance and Mitigation
Many threat assessment algorithms are based on a collection of threshold equations that predict when a collision is to occur. The fact that there are numerous algorithms suggests a need to understand the underlying principles behind the equation design and threshold settings. This thesis presents a methodology to develop appropriate alerting thresholds based on performance metrics. This also al...
