EVOLUTION OF NIGHT VISION FUNCTIONS

摘要

Night vision enhancement by image presentation has been introduced in some car models onthe market and will get market penetration in the next years [1]. To improve these firstgeneration systems, object detection on night vision images will lead to better assistance forthe driver. Relevant objects for detection would be lane borders for lane departure warning, orany obstacles for a driver warning function or even collision mitigation and avoidancefunctions.Further improvement in functionality and reliability of night vision systems will be introducedby data fusion with other sensor technologies, like navigation maps and range sensors.
