Awareness of what surrounds a vehicle directly affects the safe driving and maneuvering of an automobile. Surround information or maps can help in ethnographic studies of driver behavior as well as provide a critical input in the development of effective driver assistance system. In this paper, we introduce the concept of Dynamic Panoramic Surround (DPS) map that shows the nearby surroundings of the vehicle, and detects the objects of importance on the road. Omnidirectional cameras which give a panoramic view of the surroundings can be useful for visualizing and analyzing the nearby surroundings of the vehicle. A novel approach for synthesizing the DPS using stereo and motion analysis of video images from a pair of omni-directional cameras on the vehicle is developed. Successful generation of DPS in experimental runs on an instrumented vehicle testbed is demonstrated. These experiments prove the basic feasibility and show promise of omni video based DPS capture algorithm to provide useful semantic descriptors of the state of moving vehicles and obstacles in the vicinity of a vehicle.

This paper presents an overview of investigations into the role of computervision technology in developing safer automobiles. We consider vision systems which cannot only look out of the vehicle to detect and track roads, avoid hitting obstacles or pedestrian, but simultaneously look inside the vehicle to monitor the attentiveness of the driver and even predict her intentions. In this paper, a systems-oriented framework for developing computervision technology for safer automobiles is presented. We will consider three main components of the system, driver, vehicle, and vehicle surround. We will discuss various issues and ideas for developing models for these main components as well as activities associated with the complex task of safe driving. The paper includes discussion of novel sensory systems and algorithms for capturing not only the dynamic surround information of the vehicle but also the state, intent and activity patterns of drivers.

This paper presents a track-based system for human movement analysis and privacy protection. Our system is adaptive to environmental contexts such as illumination variations, complex moving cast shadows, different camera perspectives, and diverse sue scenarios. Most of outdoor surveillance systems have been targeting at specific environmental situation: i.e., specific time, place, and activity scenarios. We address that more general human movement analysis systems should be able to handle multiple heterogeneous situations in an adaptive manner. We introduce the concept of "spatio-temporal personal boundary" to represent different grouping patterns of human tracks, and we incorporate the concept with various site models. Experimental evaluations with extensive outdoor data show our system's robustness to environmental changes and effectiveness to properly handle various environmental contexts.

In this paper we demonstrate a driver intent inference system (DIIS) based on lane positional information, vehicle parameters, and driver head motion. We present robust computervision methods for identifying and tracking freeway lanes and driver head motion. These algorithms are then applied and evaluated on real-world data collected in a modular intelligent vehicle test-bed. Analysis of the data for lane change intent is performed using a sparse Bayesian learning methodology. Finally, the system as a whole is evaluated using a novel metric and real-world data of vehicle parameters, lane position, and driver head motion.

Omni-directional cameras which give 360 degree panoramic view of the surroundings and have recently been used in many applications such as robotics, navigation and surveillance. This paper describes the application of motion estimation on omni camera to perform surround analysis using an automobile mounted camera. The system detects and tracks the surrounding vehicles by compensating the ego-motion and detecting objects having independent motion. Prior knowledge about ego-motion and calibration is optimally combined with the information from the image gradients to get better motion compensation.

Robust human face analysis has been recognized as a crucial part in intelligent systems. In this paper, we present the development of a computational framework for robust detection, tracking, and pose estimation of faces captured by video arrays. We discuss the development of a multi-primitive skin-tone and edge-based detection module embedded in a tracking module for efficient and robust face detection and tracking. A continuous density HMM based pose estimation is developed for an accurate estimate of the face orientation motions. Experimental evaluations of these algorithms suggest the validity of the proposed framework and its computational modules.

This paper examines the feasibility of a multi-camera voxel based occupant posture estimation system. Several new considerations are made to allow this tested human body modeling system to work reliably in the passenger seat of a vehicle, including camera position, segmentation, and body modeling with voxel reconstructions all from a constrained 4 camera setup. To describe occupant posture, a partial human body model consisting of a head and torso is proposed. The accuracy of the estimation of this model is compared against ground-truth.
