dc.description.abstract | A vision system has been developed that recognizes and tracks multiple
vehicles from sequences of gray-scale images taken from a moving car
in hard real-time. Recognition is accomplished by combining the
analysis of single image frames with the analysis of the motion
information provided by multiple consecutive image frames. In single
image frames, cars are recognized by matching deformable gray-scale
templates, by detecting image features, such as corners, and by
evaluating how these features relate to each other. Cars are also
recognized by differencing consecutive image frames and by tracking
motion parameters that are typical for cars.
The vision system utilizes the hard real-time operating system Maruti
which guarantees that the timing constraints on the various processes
of the vision system are satisfied. The dynamic creation and
termination of tracking processes optimizes the amount of
computational resources spent and allows fast detection and tracking
of multiple cars. Experimental results demonstrate robust, real-time
recognition and tracking over thousands of image frames.
