Computer Vision for Driver Assistance

Mahdi Rezaei is Assistant Professor at Qazvin Islamic Azad University, Iran, and Honorary Academic Staff at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He has a PhD in Computer Science and was awarded the Best Thesis Award from the University of Auckland. His research interests include computer vision, pattern recognition, and advanced driver assistance systems. Rezaei is the author of numerous contributions to top publications, including IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems and IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, CVPR.Reinhard Klette, Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand, is Professor at the Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. He previously held positions at the University of Auckland, the Technical University of Berlin, and the Academy of Sciences Berlin. His research interests include computer vision, pattern recognition, and algorithm design. From 2003 to 2008, he was Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence.

“This book is a first as it integrates the concepts and techniques of computer vision with those of ADAS. Practitioners, professors, and graduate students will appreciate the breath of the topics covered, the depth of analysis provided by the experiments, and the accessible writing style adopted by the authors.” (Computing Reviews, December, 2017)
