Enhancing Vehicular Safety in Adverse Weather Using Computer Vision Analysis

The goal of the project is to design intelligent and robust image-processing and augmented-reality algorithms for driver assistance and enhanced vehicular safety. In particular, the focuses were two-fold: (1) realizing the abilities to identify and localize in a vehicle''s on-board video the sweeping windshield wipers during raining days and (2) designing and implementing an in-painting technique to remove the image of the windshield wipers and replace it with the corresponding pixels (not blocked by the wipers) from an adjacent video frame.
