Detection of Preceding Vehicles Based on a Multistage Combination of Edge Features and Horizontal Symmetry

摘要: This paper presents an algorithm capable of detecting leading vehicles using a forward-looking camera. In fact, the accurate measurements contact locations with road surface are prerequisites for intelligent vehicle technologies based on monocular vision. Relying multistage processing relevant edge features to hypothesis generation vehicle, proposed creates candidate positions being left and right boundaries vehicles, searches pairs be from potential by evaluating horizontal symmetry. The is proven successful experiments performed images acquired moving vehicle.
