비전 기반 스마트 와이퍼 시스템을 위한 지능형 레인 센싱 알고리즘 개발

A windshield wiper system plays a key part in assurance of driver's safety. However, because the intensity of rain and snow varies according to time and the velocity of automobile, drivers need to change the speed and operation interval of the wiper from time to time in order to secure enough visual field in the traditional windshield wiper system. Because the manual operation of windshield wiper distracts driver's attention, this may be a significant cause of traffic accident. Therefore. this paper presents the concept of a vision-based smart windshield wiper system and the rain sensing algorithm for nighttime. The system regulates the speed and operation interval of windshield wiper automatically according to the amount of the rain drops on the windshield Also. this paper introduces the fuzzy wiper control algorithm and evaluates the performance of the suggested algorithm on a wiper simulator.
