Dariu M. Gavrila, Martin Kunert, Ulrich Lages · 2002
This paper describes ongoing work in the E.U. Project PROTECTOR (Preventive Safety for Unprotected Road User) on the important problem of detecting vulnerable traffic participants from a moving vehicle. We focus on the three sensor technologies that are pursued: laser scanner, radar and video. We discuss their characteristics and present the relevant pattern recognition techniques. First prototype systems have been integrated in our demonstrator vehicles.
