Abstract

This paper presents a new method of detecting on-road highway vehicles for active safety vehicle system.* We combine a projective invariant technique with motion information to detect overtaking road vehicles. The vehicles are assumed into a set of planes and the invariant technique extracts the plane from the theory that a geometric invariant value defined by five points on a plane is preserved under a projective transform. Harris corners as a salient image point are used to give motion information with the normalized cross correlation centered at these points. A probabilistic criterion without demand of a heuristic factor is defined to test the similarity of invariant values between sequential frames. Because the method is very fast, real-time processing is possible for vehicle detection. Experimental results using images of real road scenes are presented.
