Systeme zur automatisierten Bildanalyse sind vielfältig einsetzbar und gewinnen aufgrund technologischer Weiterentwicklungen und gesellschaftlicher Akzeptanz zunehmend an Bedeutung. Schwerpunkt im Bereich der "Technischen Bildverarbeitung dynamischer Szenen" ist die Entwicklung von Methoden, die bei der Interpretation von Bildern aus verschiedenen Sensordaten Verwendung finden. Dies sind neben den herkömmlichen Kamerabildern im wesentlichen Röntgen- und Radarbilder. Unter geeigneter Berücksichtigung der durch die jeweiligen Anwendungen vorgegebenen Randbedingungen werden daraus entsprechende Verfahren abgeleitet. Derzeitige Projekte beschäftigen sich mit der Analyse von Straßenverkehrsszenen, der Detektion von Sprengstoffzündern bei der Durchleuchtung von Fluggepäck, sowie mit der Bestimmung von Art und Ausdehnung von Ölverschmutzungen bei der Meeresüberwachung.
Systems for automated image analysis are useful for a variety of tasks and their importance is still increasing due to technological advances and an increase of social acceptance. The main focus of "Technical Image Processing of Dynamic Scenes" lies
with the development of methods for the interpretation of images derived from various sensors. Apart from conventional visual images, this involves mainly X-ray and radar images. Taking into account the requirements of the various applications, suitable methods are derived. Current projects are dealing with the analysis of traffic scenes, detection of detonators when X-raying luggage and determination of type and expansion of oil pollution in maritime surveillance.
We propose a new approach to object detection based on data fusion of texture and edge information. A self organizing Kohonen map is used as the coupling element of the different representations. Therefore, an extension of the proposed architecture incorporating other features, even features not derived from vision modules, is straight forward. It simplifies to a redefinition of the local feature vectors and a retraining of the network structure. The resulting hypotheses of object locations generated by the detection process are finally inspected by a neural network classifier based on co-occurence matrices.
Systems for automated image analysis are useful for a variety of tasks and their importance is still increasing due to technological advances and an increase of social acceptance. Especially in the field of driver assistance systems the progress in science has reached a level of high performance. Fully or partly autonomously guided vehicles, particularly for road-based traffic, pose high demands on the development of reliable algorithms due to the conditions imposed by natural environments. At the Institut fur Neuroinformatik, methods for analyzing driving relevant scenes by computer vision are developed in cooperation with several partners from the automobile industry. We introduce a system which extracts the important information from an image taken by a CCD camera installed at the rear view mirror in a car. The approach consists of a sequential and a parallel sensor and information processing. Three main tasks namely the initial segmentation (object detection), the object tracking and the object classification are realized by integration in the sequential branch and by fusion in the parallel branch. The main gain of this approach is given by the integrative coupling of different algorithms providing partly redundant information.

Systems for automated image analysis are useful for a variety of tasks. Their importance is still growing due to technological advances and increased social acceptance. Especially driver assistance systems have reached a high level of sophistication. Fully or partly autonomously guided vehicles, particularly for road traffic, require highly reliable algorithms due to the conditions imposed by natural environments. At the Institut fur Neuroinformatik, methods for analyzing driving relevant scenes by computer vision are developed in cooperation with several partners from the automobile industry. We present a system extracting important information from an image taken by a CCD camera installed at the rear-view mirror in a car. The approach is divided into a sequential and a parallel phase of sensor and information processing. Three main tasks, namely initial segmentation (object detection), object tracking and object classification are realized by integration in the sequential phase and by fusion in the parallel phase. The main advantage of this approach is integrative coupling of different algorithms providing partly redundant information. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
To reduce the number of traffic accidents and to increase the drivers comfort, the thought of designing driver assistance systems arose in the past years. Fully or partly autonomously guided vehicles, particularly for road traffic, pose high demands on the development of reliable algorithms. Principal problems are caused by having a moving observer in predominantly natural environments. At the Institut fur Neuroinformatik methods for analyzing driving relevant scenes by computer vision are developed in cooperation with several partners from the automobile industry. We present a solution for a driver assistance system. We concentrate on the aspects of video-based scene analysis and organization of behavior.
