Vision-based Automotive Safety and Driver Awareness Applications for Autoliv Inc.

  • Developed Pedestrian Tracking from vehicle-mounted IR cameras that has been deployed on the BMW 7-Series.
  • Developed Stereo-based Adaptive Cruise Control from a vehicle-mounted camera that performs real-time detection, tracking and range-estimation of vehicles ahead of the host vehicle.
  • Designed a stereo analysis framework that allows empirical evaluation of any given stereo algorithm. The evaluation results can be used to choose appropriate stereo rig design parameters thus allowing for use of stereo vision sensors in practical automotive environments.
  • Developed a stereo imagery synthesizer for automotive imminent collision simulation and algorithm evaluation, allowing realistic simulations under varying target settings and camera configurations.
