Automatic white balance and brightness adjustment
Lane detection and recognition
The developed methods for lane detection use stereoscopic 3D structure and motion estimation in order to improve the performance. 3D reconstruction can be also used for obstacle detection.
Lane detection and obstacle detection from stereo reconstruction
Traffic sign detection and recognition
Traffic sign recognition system can be used for driver assistance by reminding the driver or generating a warning if necessary. It can be also used for automated inspection of the state of traffic infrastructure, or as an additional source of information for autonomous navigation.
Traffic sign detection and recognition
Moving objects detection for collision warning
Development of robust algorithms for detecting moving objects based on laser range sensor scans or omnidirectional camera acquisition. The results can be used in to inform the driver about potential collisions.
Automatic driver fatigue monitoring
The aim of this task is to develop a reliable real-time system for monitoring driver fatigue and drowsiness in order to reduce the number of traffic accidents.

Objectives• Strengthening of technology transfer and
commercialization capacities of partner HEIs.
• Transfer of existing computer vision applications from HEIs to SMEs in the automotive industry sector.
• Developing new traffic- and transport-related computer vision applications with commercial potential in collaboration with SMEs in the automotive industry sector.
Headlight detection in urban and rural driving conditions.
Methodology for testing and evaluation
Research goals:• definition of experiments which will be used for
testing and evaluation of the developed driver assistance systems
• development of a system which uses only one video camera for vehicle detection and tracking on multiple road lanes; and computation of road traffic parameters (traffic flow, origin-destination matrices, vehicle classification, etc.)

Automatic headlight detection
Automatic vehicle headlight detection and tracking is the base for the two following systems: automatic high-beam control and forward collision warning system.
Detecting roadside vegetation can be used for increasing traffic safety (detecting vegetation that is occluding traffic lights or traffic signs), aiding autonomous vehicles in off-road navigation, and also for guiding service vehicles in roadside maintenance tasks.
