چکیده

T his paper discusses the main architectural issues of a challenging application of real-time image processing: the vision-based automatic guidance of road vehicles. Two algorithms for lane detection and obstacle localization, currently implemented on the ARGO autonomous vehicle developed at the University of Parma, are used as examples to compare two di€erent computing engines Ð a massively parallel special-purpose SIMD architecture and a general-purpose system Ð while future trends in this ®eld are proposed, based on the experience of the ARGO project.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF A STEREO VISION-BASED GUIDANCE SYSTEM Professor

A robust detection of obstacles and other vehicles on the path of a moving vehicle is essential for a number of the basic guidance functionalities, such as Road Following or Platooning. Therefore a critical analysis of the performance of Obstacle Detection is mandatory. This work presents a critical analysis of a stereo vision-based guidance system installed onto the ARGO autonomous vehicle. Di...
