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

Conference Paper, Proceedings of IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV '93), pp. 37 - 42, July, 1993

Abstract

This paper describes RACCOON (Real-time Autonomous Car Chaser Operating Optimally at Night), a vision-based system that tracks car tail lights at night. It builds a global map in real time of the lead vehicle's position based on the location and separation of the tail lights in a sequence of video images. RACCOON has been integrated into a car following experiment on the Carnegie Mellon University Navlab II testbed. The Navlab II safely followed a lead vehicle on a winding road in light traffic at 32 km/h.
