HISCAOD: a high-speed camera array for obstacle detection

Abstract

this document contains description of HISCAOD – an obstacle detection system for autonomous vehicles, developed using high-speed cameras. Using image processing data from seven cameras the device is able to detect potential obstacles both during the movement and on a still position. Extensive testing was performed to access its functionality, effectiveness and accuracy. Such approach to feature tracking and obstacle detection may be of use for both autonomous and manual cars and may greatly improve driving safety, reliability and comfort.
