A System for the Acquisition and Analysis of Image Sequences to Model Longitudinal Driving Behavior

Traffic causes important problems in many societies. Considerable amounts of energy, money and time are wasted in traffic jams and even more important are car accidents and casualties in traffic (more than 40,000 deaths per year in the USA (Hitti (2005)) and 791 deaths in 2007 in the Netherlands (van Verkeer en Waterstaat (2008))). To alleviate...

Energy function behavior in optimization based image sequence stabilization in presence of moving objects

In this paper, we address the registration of two images as an optimization problem within indicated bounds. Our contribution is to identify such situations where the optimum value represents the real transformation parameters between the two images. Consider for example Mean Square Error (MSE) as the energy function: Ideally, a minimum in MSE...
