Abstract
Developing dedicated vision systems for approaching preventive safety applications is a topic where car manufacturers have spend a great amount of research effort in the last years. In the Vision Laboratory of FIAT Research Centre different specific sensors have been developed to cope with this argument in an innovative manner. One of these devices, named Blind Spot Monitoring Sensor, is based on a CCD micro-camera and on a very compact image processing unit; the provided support function consists on the activation of a suitable warning indication when overtaking vehicles, moving in the “blind zone”, are detected by the system. The second of the described devices, named Lane Warning Support Sensor is based on a more complex (and so, at least relatively, more expensive) but much more flexible and powerful processing unit.
