RACCOON: A Real-time Autonomous Car Chaser Operating Optimally at Night

Tech. Report, CMU-RI-TR-92-13, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, October, 1992

Abstract

RACCOON is a vision system that tracks car taillights at night. It builds a global map in real time of the lead vehicle's position based on the location and separation of the taillights in a sequence of video images. RACCOON has been integrated into a car following experiment on the CMU Navlab II, a computer-controlled HMMWV testbed. The Navlab II safely followed a lead vehicle on a winding road in light traffic at 32 km/h.
