Stereo-based road obstacle detection and tracking

We present a novel visual obstacle detection and tracking system based on stereo vision. A robust stereo matcher, an obstacle detector and a tracker module are implemented and tested under actual driving conditions. Implemented system shows reliable range estimation, detection and tracking performance. Our system has showed 82.4 percent correctly detected rate in complex traffic situations.
