Ed I don't know who is doing the Ford alert sensor. SSPIF is working on collision avoidance system with diamond rtos Automatic Vehicle Guidance C-VIS, Germany 3L Application Note CARTRACK is a specialised stereo vision system used for automatic vehicle guidance. The system can reliably detect, track and measure rear or frontal views of automobiles in a dynamic image. There are four major visual tasks the system has to cope with: 1.Detecting leading cars or other objects on the road 2.Accurate measurement of the dynamic image size of the individual cars being tracked 3.Visual tracking of the objects while their image position and size vary greatly 4.Classification of objects that are being tracked In the picture, the leading car in the centre is being tracked and its size is measured. The left car has just been detected and tracking is initialised. Real-time operation for such applications is achieved with an eight processor TMS320C40 based VME system. The video signals are received by special TIM-40 processor nodes which incorporate digitiser chips and frame buffers. Stereo image acquisition is achieved by RGB colour digitisers providing up to three channel simultaneous image capture. "3L Diamond, the multi-processor upgrade to the TI tools, was chosen as the software development platform. It allowed much faster development than using the basic TI tools and supports easy integration of the image processing subsystem into a PC environment." -- Thomas Zielke, president of C-VIS. VISIONBUMBER and SIDEVIEW are other video-based obstacle detection systems for short range "all round" surveillance of automatically guided vehicles. Applications include blind spot surveillance and lane keeping assistance. threel.co.uk The current listed NA customers North America AT&T, Canadian Defense Research Establishment, Canadian Space Agency, Communications Research Center, General Motors Research Laboratory, GTE Government Systems, ITT, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Lockheed Martin, Motorola, Naval Air Warfare Center, Naval Underwater Warfare Center, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Pixar, Sandia National Labs, US DoD
