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.

Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird ein hochsprachenprogrammierbares System zur schritthaltenden Vollbild-Interpretation natürlich beleuchteter Szenenfolgen im Videotakt vorgestellt. Im einzelnen werden folgende Teilmodule und Subsysteme beschrieben: eine hochdynamische, pixellokal autoadaptive CMOS-Kamera mit ca. 120 dB Helligkeitsdynamik (20Bits/Pixel) ein hochsprachenprogrammierbarer Systolic Array Prozessor (für die pixelbezogenen Verarbeitungsmodule) im PCI-Kartenformat, samt optimierendem Compiler, Simulator und Emulator Systemprozeßgerüste unter Linux auf den für die Echtzeit-Anwendungen eingesetzten Hostrechnern (z.B. DEC/Alpha oder Intel/ Pentium)eine prototypische Anwendung zur bildverarbeitungsbasierten Eigenbewegungsbeobachtung (Translationsrichtung, Eotationsraten)eine prototypische, automotive Anwendung zur schritthalt enden Detektion und Kartierung des Straßen- und Spurverlaufs unter partieller monokularer 3D-Rekonstruktion, sowie prototypische Anwendungen zur Klassifikation verkehrsrelevanter Hindernisse (Verkehrsteilnehmer)
