This study deals with the problem of the recognition of the preceding vehicles by image processing. The purpose of this study is the development of the equipment to prevent a collision with preceding vehicles during driving the vehicle. In order to decrease the processing time and increase reliability, at first, the traffic lane is extracted. It is determined by detecting road edges and calculating their tangent. After the traffic lane is gotten, the position of the vehicle is searched inside the lane. The features used to detect the vehicles in the algorithm are shadow of the vehicle, vertical edges, horizontal edges, and symmetrical segment. The preceding vehicles are extracted successfully by this method.

This paper proposes a vehicle detector with a magnetoresistive (MR) sensor. The detector consists of a MR sensor and mechanical and electronic apparatuses. Composed of six magnetically variable resistors, the MR sensor senses disturbance of the earth's magnetic field caused by a moving vehicle over itself and then produces an output indicative of the moving vehicle. Experiments have been carried out with three stages. At the first stage, the outputs of the sensor have been analyzed to show the validity of the detector's circuit and the detecting method. At the second stage, the detector has been tested on a local highway in Korea. Through the field tests, the outputs of the detector in response to various kinds of moving vehicles have been collected and analyzed. At the final stage, to verify the performance of the detector, traffic volumes on the highway have been measured with the detector and compared with the exact traffic volumes in a highly congested traffic.

In this paper, we propose a technique of drowsiness detection using a histogram for vehicle safety. The drowsiness of vehicle drivers is often the main cause of many vehicle accidents. Therefore, the checking of eye images in order to detect the drowsiness status of a driver is very important for preventing accidents. In our suggested method, we analyse the changes of a histogram of eye region images which are acquired using a CCD camera. We develop a drowsiness detection system using this histogram change information. The experimental results show that the proposed method enhances the accuracy of detecting drowsiness to nearly 97%, and can be used to prevent accidents due to driver drowsiness.

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

In this paper, we designed a vehicle active suspension controller. Vehicle suspensions have various design objects with tradeoff among them and these objects cannot be satisfied under all driving conditions. We need to design a controller adapted to variable driving conditions changing the objects of vehicle suspensions. To design such a controller, we must be able to detect the current driving conditions and focus on the road frequencies giving us useful and important information about driving conditions. Detecting the road frequencies, we use the Fourier Transform. A unexpected driving change like a speed bump was also included to items the new designed controller must consider.

This paper proposes an algorithm capable of detecting vehicles in front or in rear using a monocular camera installed in a vehicle. The vehicle detection has been regarded as an important part of intelligent vehicle technologies. The proposed algorithm is mainly composed of two parts: 1)hypothesis generation of vehicles, and 2)hypothesis verification. The hypotheses of vehicles are generated by the analysis of vertical and horizontal edges and the detection of symmetry axis. The hypothesis verification, which determines vehicles among hypotheses, is done by the AdaBoost algorithm. The proposed algorithm is proven to be effective through experiments performed on various images captured on the roads.

In this paper, a novel vehicle detection algorithm is proposed that utilizes the color histogram of the image. The color histogram is used to search the image for regions with shadow, block symmetry, and block non-homogeneity, thereby detecting the vehicle region. First, an integral histogram of the input image is computed to decrease the amount of required computation time for the block color histograms. Then, shadow detection is performed and the block symmetry and block non-homogeneity are checked in a cascade manner to detect the vehicle in the image. Finally, the proposed scheme is applied to both still images taken in a parking lot and an on-road video sequence to demonstrate its effectiveness.

LKAS(Lane Keeping Assistance System) main function is to support the driver in keeping the vehicle within the current lane. Therefore, this system is able to reduce the driver workload with assisting the driver during driving. In this paper, we presented on study for test procedures and evaluation methods of the LKAS. The vehicle test conducted on straight road, left curve, right curve and four different types of lane under various vehicle speeds. This study proposed the LKAS system test procedures and methods that we are able to identify LKAS driving mechanism and performance.

본 논문은 차량용 전방 카메라를 이용하여 근거리 옆 차선의 차량을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 근거리 옆 차선의 차량은 상대적 위치에 따라 형태의 변화가 심하기 때문에 기존의 방법들은 대부분 움직임 정보를 이용하여 근거리 옆 차선 차량을 검출한다. 그러나 이러한 움직임 정보에 기반한 방법들은 자가 차량을 앞지르는 차량만 검출할 수 있다는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안하는 방법은 움직임 정보를 사용하는 대신 근거리 옆 차선 차량이 존재하는 관심 영역의 특징을 이용한다. 이로 인해 근거리 옆 차선의 추월 차량 뿐 아니라 정지해 있거나 나란히 주행하는 차량들 또한 검출이 가능하다. 실험 결과, 제안하는 방법은 다양한 날씨 및 도로 환경에서 근거리 옆 차선 차량을 효과적으로 검출하였으며 실시간 처리 속도를 보여주었다.

대부분의 차량에서 GPS 기반의 내비게이션을 사용함에 따라, 도로 지도를 자동적으로 생성하는 것은 중요한 연구 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 지도 정보 없이 GPS 궤적을 이용한 교차로 검출 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 궤적이 교차로에서 여러 갈래로 나누어지는 것을 이용한다. 이전의 교차로 검출 연구에서는 정차 빈도나 회전방향을 이용하였다. 그러나 제안하는 교차로 검출 기법은 이러한 복잡한 정보를 이용하지 않는다. 이 기법은 주어진 궤적에 대한 부분 궤적 매칭 결과를 이용하여 교차로에 진입한 궤적들이 서로 다른 도로로 나뉘어 이동하는 것을 이용한다. 강남구에서 수집된 실제 차량 궤적 1266개를 대상으로 실험하였다. 실험 결과 제안한 기법은 일반적인 십자 모양의 교차로에서 좋은 성능을 보였다. 제안 시스템은 선정한 교차로에 대해 재현율 75%, 민감도 78%의 성능을 보였다. 더 많은 궤적을 이용하면 더 신뢰할 수 있는 검출 결과를 낼 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
