- Abstract
Research on computer vision systems for driver assistance resulted in a variety of isolated approaches mainly performing very specialized tasks like, e. g., lane keeping or traffic sign detection. However, for a full understanding of generic traffic situations, integrated and flexible approaches are needed. We here present a highly integrated vision architecture for an advanced driver assistance system inspired by human cognitive principles. The system uses an attention system as the flexible and generic front-end for all visual processing, allowing a task-specific scene decomposition and search for known objects (based on a short term memory) as well as generic object classes (based on a long term memory). Knowledge fusion, e. g., between an internal 3D representation and a reliable road detection module improves the system performance. The system heavily relies on top-down links to modulate lower processing levels, resulting in a high system robustness.
