Robust Vehicle Detection and Distance Estimation Under Challenging Lighting Conditions

Cooperative Vehicle-to-Vehicle Active Safety Testing under Challenging Conditions

Cooperative vehicular communication systems are being developed to improve traffic safety and efficiency through the wireless exchange of information between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure units. The future deployment of cooperative active safety applications requires their prior extensive testing due to their critical nature and strict quality of service requirements. Such te...

Novel Adaptive Eye Detection and Tracking for Challenging Lighting Conditions

The paper develops a novel technique that significantly improves the performance of Haar-like feature-based object detectors in terms of speed, detection rate under di cult lighting conditions, and reduced number of false-positives. The method is implemented and validated for driver monitoring under very dark, very bright, and normal conditions. The framework includes a fast adaptive detector d...

Human Face Detection under Complex Lighting Conditions

This paper presents a novel method for detecting human faces in an image with complex backgrounds. The approach is based on visual information of the face from the template image and is commenced with the estimation of the face area in the given image. As the genetic algorithm is a computationally expensive process, the searching space for possible face regions is limited to possible facial fea...

Robust real-time eye detection and tracking under variable lighting conditions and various face orientations

Most eye trackers based on active IR illumination require distinctive bright pupil effect to work well. However, due to a variety of factors such as eye closure, eye occlusion, and external illumination interference, pupils are not bright enough for these methods to work well. This tends to significantly limit their scope of application. In this paper, we present an integrated eye tracker to ov...
