A robust tracking approach for vision-based forward vehicle detection

Abstract

Based on the lane marking tracking, this study presents a robust tracking approach for vision-based forward vehicle detection. Following vanishing point of lane which is according to lane detection point and linear regression analysis, five scan lines created as region of interest (ROI) for tracking is adopted to reduce the computational cost in detection process. The proposed algorithm implemented on TI DM648 DSP platform, and get very well results for various road environments.
