IMAGE RECOGNITION FOR FVS

The scope of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is widening, from electronic toll-collection systems to overall driving safety — a move that has seen the commercialization of rear monitoring systems in vehicles.

However, current systems require a number of standard processors and offer a poor level of cost performance. Toshiba has been studying the possibilities for enhanced cost performance through advanced image recognition and customizable processor technologies as well as their application to monitoring the road behind and beside the vehicle on which they are installed. The company hopes that advances in reliability will stimulate the market for ITS and contribute to a safer driving environment.

Toshiba announced its research has led to the world's first image-recognition large-scale integration (LSI) integrating a configurable media processor. A version of the new LSI customized for intelligent vehicle (IV) systems adopts an advanced image-recognition technology that isolates dynamic movement against a background.

The application is able to "transact" 17 or 18 real -time image frames per second -the level required to detect passing vehicles. Thus, the new LSI can monitor traffic in the outside lane when a vehicle in which it is installed is in motion. Mounted in a 366

system board at the back of the vehicle, it tracks the approach of vehicles up to the point where they draw alongside, including the blind spots along the way.

If the driver of the car with the LSI decides to switch lanes when a car is approaching at high speed, a standard image of the road is accompanied by a warning alarm.

The LSI can be useful for other driving situations, such as crossing two lanes of traffic, monitoring the road ahead for obstacles, monitoring the driver's line of vision, and for adaptive cruise control (ACC) needs. In such applications as lane crossing and ACC, the processor can "transact" an average of 100 frames a second. Toshiba expects to commercialize a monitoring system incorporating the new LSI in 2002.
