We rely on such detections to build a vision-based system that, coupling them in a rule-based fashion, is able to detect and track vehicles. This allows the generation of an interface that informs a driver of the relative distance and velocity of other vehicles in real time and triggers a warning when a potentially dangerous situation arises. We demonstrate the system using sequences shot using a camera mounted behind a car’s windshield.}, url = {http://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/149699}, doi = {10.1007/s00138-009-0243-6}, }
