Several conditions as driver imprudence, road conditions and obstacles are the main factors that will cause road accidents. The most important automotive industries are incorporating technology to reduce risk in vehicles. Their products are expensive and lack flexibility to incorporate new features. This work presented a first approach to increase vehicle safety based on regional features. A framework was implemented, incorporating lane analysis and obstacle detection through image processing. The framework was tested using image datasets and real captures with satisfactory results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
