Anuar Mikdad Muad, Aini Hussain · 2004
Introduction An autonomous intelligent vehicle system that can interpret traffics situation, provides driving assistance and capable of avoiding collisions can significantly increased driving safety. Such a vehicle system will have to perform several functionalities. In this work, a visual based sensor is used to acquire information by placing a web-camera at the dashboard of a moving car and directed outward in a way to have a similar view with a real driver. The camera captures image sequences where every frame of image provides information pertaining to road and traffic situations. The aim of this work is to develop a stage of various algorithms that can extract relevant features in every sequence of image and when every one of them is combined, they become as one complete driving assistant system. It is hoped that, when the system is built, it will help to reduce accidents by focusing on keeping a safe distant between trailing and heading car and to avoid uncontrolled lane deviation.
