A Coordinate Transformation Method for Video and Radar Based Driver Assistance System

To develop the Driver Assistance System for foggy weather will help to increase driving safety. This paper will introduce a method based on digital information from computer vision and millimeter-wave radar techniques to build a driver assistance system for foggy weather. The algorithm, which takes advantage of the Direct Liner Transformation method, is to perform image registration between the object ahead detected by millimeter-wave radar with a vision enhanced scene in foggy weather. The information based on millimeter-wave radar and digital image will be used to help drivers to drive with good vision. The experimental results showed our Driver Assistant System is robust, the automatic registration is accurate.
