Detecting vehicles from a moving vehicle is an important task. In this paper a new vehicle detector is introduced. The new vehicle detector employs the use of the ubiquitous wheel. Every car has wheels; this wheel detector finds wheels and infers vehicle location from the wheel detection. Views from an omnidirectional camera are used to generate side view images. These images are processed using a difference of Gaussian filter bank. The responses from the filter bank are applied to a precomputed set of principle components. The principle component responses are compared against a Gaussian mixture model of wheels and Gaussian model roadbed. Wheel candidates are chosen and tracked. Initial experimental results along with analysis are shown.

Detecting and classifying vehicles using a stationary camera is an important task in intelligent transportation systems. A novel vehicle detector is introduced. The vehicle detector uses the most common feature among all vehicles, the ubiquitous wheel. The vehicle detector finds wheels and infers vehicle location from background segmentation and wheel detection. Views from a rigid rectilinear camera are used. The images are convolved using a difference of Gaussian filterbank. The responses from the filterbank are applied to a precomputed set of principle components. The principle component responses are compared against a Gaussian mixture model of wheels and Gaussian mixture model of non-wheels. Wheel candidates are chosen and tracked. Any wheel tracked in the foreground is chosen as wheel. Initial experimental results along with analysis are included.

Robust detection of vehicle occupant posture is necessary for intelligent airbag deployment. This paper presents a vision-based method of estimating the size, posture and pose of the occupant. Utilizing raw reflectance and stereo disparity images, this algorithm presents a mixed-mode approach to finding occupant features. Extensive experiments show the viability of this mixed-mode method in identifying the occupant's head location and suggest the feasibility of extending the analysis system to include detection of features such as occupant arms and foreign objects.

In this paper we propose a new approach for multi-objective control using a cascade of filters that progressively removes candidate commands which do not satisfy task constraints. The approach is motivated by other control methods that prevent destructive control interactions through null space projections. We apply this approach to a practical leader/follower task in which a mobile robot must address the conflicting objectives of moving to a goal position while avoiding obstacles and keeping a region of the workspace within the field of view of a fixed camera mounted on the platform. We experimentally verify our approach using the Segway Robotic Mobility Platform (RMP), a dynamically stable, differential drive mobile robot.
It is proposed a new method to compute, from the current unstructured view, a reference (desired) image for visual servoing. The approach, which is based on Cartesian specifications, is made without moving the robot t...

In this paper we propose a novel algorithm to enhance the face video from omni-directional video camera. A two-stage strategy is used. First stage is the noise elimination, realized by iterative MAP update. Naive Bayesian criterion is used to model the posterior. The predominant salt and pepper noise introduced by the omni-to-perspective transformation can be removed effectively, while the image details are well preserved. The high frequency component compensation (HFCC) super-resolution algorithm is applied thereafter to remove the blocky effect. Experimental results show that the video quality has a marked improvement.

This work provides a general description of the multi sensor data fusion concept, along with a new classification of currently used sensor fusion techniques for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV). Unlike previous proposals that focus the classification on the sensors involved in the fusion, we propose a synthetic approach that is focused on the techniques involved in the fusion and their applications in UUV navigation. We believe that our approach is better oriented towards the development of sensor fusion systems, since a sensor fusion architecture should be first of all focused on its goals and then on the fused sensors.

This paper proposes a parallel architecture for estimation of the motion of an underwater robot. It is well known that image processing requires a huge amount of computation, mainly at low-level processing where the algorithms are dealing with a great number of data. In a motion estimation algorithm, correspondences between two images have to be solved at the low level. In the underwater imaging, normalised correlation can be a solution in the presence of non-uniform illumination. Due to its regular processing scheme, parallel implementation of the correspondence problem can be an adequate approach to reduce the computation time. Taking into consideration the complexity of the normalised correlation criteria, a new approach using parallel organisation of every processor from the architecture is proposed.

This paper describes an interdisciplinary research collaboration to design a human-centered driver assistance system. Driving behavior is captured using a novel intelligent vehicle test bed. The synchronized capture of driver behavior and driving context provides an empirical basis for the design and evaluation.
