文摘This paper presents a new approach to the outdoor road scene understand-ing by using omni-view images and backpropagation networks. Both the road directions used for vehicle heading and the road categories used for velilcle local-ization are determined by the integrated system. There are three main features about the work. First, an omni-view image sensor is used to extract image samples, and the original image is preprocessed so that the inputs of the net-work is rotation-invariant and simple. Second, the problem of the network size,especially the number of the hidden units, is decided by the analysis of system-atic experimental results. Finally, the internal representation, which reveals the properties of the neural network, is analyzed in the view point of visual signal processing.
