Abstract

The project goal is to develop automatic object detection in images/video provided by the rear cameras. Such automatic object detection can provide an alert to the driver. According to Kidsandcars.org, the number of backing-up fatalities increased five-fold from 88 (1996-2000) to 448 (2006-10). Our object detection method will consist of 3 steps. (1) Normalization: Images acquired change in appearance due to weather and illumination conditions, lens distortion and other factors. (2) Feature Computation: Systematically evaluate and select features. (3) Classification: Determine the presence of objects.
