Vision-Based Vehicle Classifier
Overview





NREC’s vehicle classifier identifies vehicles in video images of roads
and highways.

NREC is developing a vision-based vehicle classifier that will be used in driver assistance systems for automobiles and other mass-market vehicles.

Continental Automotive is building driver assistance systems to help drivers safely change lanes, merge, avoid obstacles, and perform similar maneuvers. NREC’s vehicle classifier will be part of Continental’s future active safety systems. The camera from this system scans the road ahead, looking for other vehicles. NREC's classifier examines these images and uses highly efficient machine learning techniques to quickly and efficiently find areas that
contain vehicles.
