Abstract

In the context of automotive driver assistance, we focus on the problem of simultaneous localization and object detection considering a video sequence acquired by an on-board camera. This paper presents an original approach permitting localization and object detection by using coarse resolution images. It is based on an a-contrario model previously introduced for land cover monitoring using remote sensing data. Applied to the problem of detecting scene changes from the acquisition of a video sequence from an on-board camera, we show that such an approach permits to detect appearing objects even when the illumination and the geometry of the scene vary, and this in a much more robust way than keeping full resolution data. Results obtained in the context of real data acquired using a frontal camera onboard a car illustrate these statements.
