Thechallenge is to use a single camera as input, in order toachieve a low cost final system that meets the requirementsneeded to undertake serial production in automotive industry.The basic feature of the detected objects are first located inthe image using vision and then combined with a SVMbased classifier. An intelligent learning approach is proposedin order to better deal with objects variability, illuminationconditions, partial occlusions and rotations. A large databasecontaining thousands of object examples extracted from realroad scenes has been created for learning purposes. Theclassifier is trained using SVM in order to be able to classifyvehicles, including trucks. In addition, the vehicle detectionsystem described in this paper provides early detection ofpassing cars and assigns lane to target vehicles. In the paper,we present and discuss the results achieved up to date in realtraffic conditions.
