| dc.description.abstract | Drivers often have difficulties noticing potentially dangerous objects due to weather or lighting conditions or when their field of view is restricted. This thesis presents a display method for potentially dangerous objects to assist drivers in noticing dangerous situations. The object segment is denoised by adaptive thresholding, and the contrast, brightness and color of the segment are enhanced in order to make the object more noticeable. The contrast of the background is reduced to increase the effect of enhancement, and dynamic effects like changing the enhancement window size, window location, contrast, and brightness are added to increase the detectibility of the object by the driver. Experiments showed that our method increased the perceptibility of potentially dangerous objects. | en_US |
