A Half Day Tutorial by Richard Bishop on Intelligent Vehicles on June 12, 2007.

World Tour: Intelligent Vehicle Product and Research Trends
Part I: Product Trends
Intelligent vehicle products are entering the market at an increasingly rapid rate. What's on the market and how are the systems faring in terms of market uptake and public acceptance. Do the systems work in the real world? What new products are in the wings? This portion of the tutorial will give researchers an understanding of how automotive engineers transform research results into products.
Part II: Research Trends
Intelligent vehicle R&D is booming worldwide, based on both government and corporate funding. We are moving into a world of sensor fusion, shifting from active sensing to intelligent perception, and evolving into human relevant "intelligent behaviors." Research programs in Europe are driving this process, as is the DARPA Urban Challenge activity in the USA. In addition to autonomous systems, the "next big thing" is cooperative vehicle systems based on wireless communications. Extensive programs are underway in the USA, Europe, and Japan, such as VII, CVIS, SafeSpot, and SmartWay. The tutorial will examine the major programs and projects and research results to date to give the participant a thorough understanding of the major trends and technical challenges in each of these domains.

Workshop on Vision Processing - Optics to Output

This workshop will explore how all the different elements from lenses to imagers to signal processing come together to make intelligent cameras for mass market cars. Hands on exposure to real hardware and software will allow the attendees to see the ease with which kernels can be assembled and an application built on a high performance platform.
