Abstract

This paper proposes a vehicle detection algorithm using pre-processing and lamp detection at night-time. First, we present a vehicle detection using contrast enhancement. By applying a specific contrast enhancement to night-time images with low exposure, we can enhance salient features even at dark night-time. Next, we detect a pair of rear lamps from the pre-processed image(s). Finally, we can find forward vehicle(s) by lamp pairing. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm provides reliable detection accuracy.
