SYSTEM UND VERFAHREN ZUM ERKENNEN EINES VORBEIKOMMENDEN FAHRZEUGS AUS DYNAMISCHEM HINTERGRUND UNTER VERWENDUNG ROBUSTER INFORMATIONSFUSION

摘要

A system and method for detecting a passing vehicle is disclosed. A video sequence comprising a plurality of image frames is received. Image intensity is measured and image motion is estimated in each image frame. A hypothesis model describing background dynamics is formulated. The measured image intensity and motion estimation is used to determine if the background dynamics has been violated in a given image frame. If the background dynamics has been violated, motion coherency is used to determine whether the violation of the background dynamics is caused by a passing vehicle.
