Vehicle detection with orientation estimation in aerial images has received widespread interest as it is important for intelligent traffic management. This is a challenging task, not only because of the complex background and relatively small size of the target, but also the various orientations of vehicles in aerial images captured from the top view. The existing methods for oriented vehicle d...

This paper presents a concept of platoon movement of autonomous vehicles (smart cars). To be able to do research to the stability of an AGV string, a car-following model is being determined. To do this, first a single vehicle is modeled and since all cars in the platoon have the same dynamics, the single vehicle model is copied ten times. To control this string, equal P(I)D controllers are appl...

In this paper we describe the design and evaluation of the prototype vehicle for a new test-bed developed for multi-vehicle control, navigation and communication. The vehicle is designed for high reliability and easy recon guration using smart sensor and actuator interfaces. It is passively stable in pitch and roll and is actuated by ve thrusters. The actuators allow for full control of the rem...

Road traffic statistics have shown that multi-event crashes typically result in a higher death toll than single-event crashes. One type of those multi-event crashes could be a crash where the initial harmful event leads to a loss of directional control of the vehicle. In this work, we study countermeasures during such crashes, namely, vehicle stabilization in response to exogenous impulsive dis...

Reasoning about objects in images and videos using 3D representations is re-emerging as a popular paradigm in computer vision. Specifically, in the context of scene understanding for roads, 3D vehicle detection and tracking from monocular videos still needs a lot of attention to enable practical applications. Current approaches leverage two kinds of information to deal with the vehicle detectio...

A robust video based system for the traffic surveillance system on the highway for vehicle detection, vehicle classification and counting for effective traffic analysis using only a single standard camera. The key goal of the proposed work is to successfully detect, track, classify and count the vehicle in partial occlusion and connected together by shadow on the highways. Marker-controlled wat...

The addition of manipulators to small autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can pose significant control challenges due to hydrodynamic interactions between the arm and the vehicle. Experiments conducted at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) using the OTTER vehicle have shown that dynamical interactions between an arm and a vehicle can be very significant. For the experiments ...

This paper describes a simple and low-cost semiself-driving system which is constructed without cameras or image processing. In addition, a position correction method is presented by using a vehicle dynamics. Conventionally, selfdriving vehicle is operated by various expensive environmental recognition sensors. It results in rise in prices of the vehicle, and also the complicated system with va...

An approach for detecting and tracking vehicles are proposed in these paper. Traffic safety applications using vehicle-to-vehicle communication is an emerging and promising area within the environment. By using a single rear-mounted fisheye camera and multiple detection algorithms to find the blind zone of the vehicle. It is driving safety supported system. Furthermore, the effects of fisheye d...

This paper presents a generic scheme to analyze urban traffic via vehicle motion indication from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. The scheme comprises two main steps performed progressively vehicle extraction and motion status classification. The step for vehicle extraction is intended to detect and delineate single vehicle instances as accurate and complete as possible, while the step for m...
