VISION-BASED DRIVING ASSISTANCE IN VEHICLES OF THE FUTURE
http://www.ce.unipr.it/expert
ALBERTO BROGGI, Guest Editor
Thanks to the increasing computational power of current computer systems
and to the reduced costs of image-acquisition devices, in the last few
years vision-based sensing of the surrounding environment has gained a
strategic importance not only in military applications, but also in the
automotive field. This special issue will address the problems of
autonomous vehicle driving, describe common techniques, and present the
state of the art. Suggested topics include
- Vision-based guidance of unmanned vehicles.
- Analysis of real-time constraints for vehicle driving.
- Vehicle navigation in unknown environments.
- Integration of specialized hardware on vehicles.
- Description of research prototypes.
- Legal aspects.
- Analysis of future trends.
Expert seeks two kinds of articles:
- TUTORIALS and SURVEYS introducing this field and reviewing the state
of the art or the state of the practice of work done in this area,
with the aim of comparing different solutions and techniques. Such
articles should be approximately 6,000 words (9-10 magazine pages),
with extensive references to widely available published works. One or
two such articles will likely be included.
- ARTICLES describing prototypes of autonomous vehicles developed
worldwide by universities, research centers, corporations, and
government institutions. These articles should describe both the
techniques and the results obtained, and the references should allow
the interested reader to follow up on both. Articles describing the
fusion of data coming from sensors other than vision are also welcome.
These articles should be from 5,500 to 6,000 words (8-9 magazine
pages), with no more than 12 references. A consistent and useful set
of definitions and examples can often help explain the underlying
mathematics. Such aids can be presented as sidebars in the published
article. Four or five such articles will likely be included.
All authors should submit six hard copies of their article by December
20, 1997, to the guest editor, Alberto Broggi. Authors intending to
submit tutorials or survey articles are encouraged to discuss this with
the guest editor or to send an extended abstract to him by October 1,
1997.

IEEE Expert: Intelligent Systems and Their Applications publishes
technically substantive articles that are referenced extensively in the
literature and read by 8,000-9,000 people worldwide. Expert is a magazine
of applied AI - a bridge between the research community and the user
community. Its readers want to learn about the tools, techniques,
concepts, and systems that have potential for real-world applications.
Conceptual or theoretical papers are welcome, provided they clarify and
present items of importance to applications. Clear, not overly formal,
writing is essential.
All articles will be carefully peer reviewed. Authors whose articles are
accepted on technical grounds will work with the magazine's staff editors
to arrive at a final article that is clear, straightforward, and valuable
to the user community.
