Vehicle detection at night using image processing and pattern recognition

Abstract

We present a methodology to detect vehicles at night using image processing and pattern recognition. The using of mathematical morphology, the techniques of pattern recognition and the studying of perspective influences are the major innovations of our method. First, we present an initialisation phase that involves a road modelling. Afterwards, we present methodologies to detect vehicles on highways. We also discuss the results and give perspectives and conclusions.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
