MOVEMENT DETECTION FOR SAFER BACKWARD MANEUVER.

IMRA has been working on a static obstacles detection system for a few years now. It is proposed to complement this with a real-time moving obstacles detection and localization system. This system is based on camera movement compensation using IPM (Inverse Perspective Mapping) and probabilisticreasoning for movement detection. Using shape filtering this approach caneven detect only specific types of moving objects (pedestrians, cars etc). The algorithms developed, the evaluation protocol used, and some resultsof the system are described. For the covering abstract see E134653.
