Abstract

See full text

A method and system for background maintenance of a vision system by fusing a plurality of detection methods and applying a 1D analysis to verify an absence of a static vehicle is provided. Methods for analyzing spatial temporal images in vehicle detection systems are provided. A method for processing a 1-dimensional profile is provided to detect a static vehicle in a traffic lane. When no vehicles are detected, a background image may be updated. A method for processing a 1-dimensional profile is also provided to detect occlusions of a traffic lane by a vehicle in a neighboring traffic lane. A method to reduce false alarm in wrong way driver detection applies the method for occlusion detection. A method to detect a slow moving vehicle in a traffic lane from a spatial-temporal image is also disclosed. A system applying the methods for processing 1-dimensional profiles is also provided.
