摘要: This study presents an effective method for detecting vehicles in front of the camera-assisted car during nighttime driving. The proposed method detects vehicles based on detecting and locating vehicle headlights and taillights using techniques of image segmentation and pattern analysis. First, to effectively extract bright objects of interest, a segmentation process based on automatic multilevel thresholding is applied on the grabbed road-scene images. Then the extracted bright objects are processed by a rule-based procedure, to identify the vehicles by locating and analyzing their vehicle light patterns, and estimate their distances to the camera-assisted car. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method on detecting vehicles at night.
