  • Abstract
    We propose the enhancement algorithm for thermal vision system based upon providing the driver with thermal images of the forward scene under night and adverse day conditions. A thermal vision system has been developed to reduce the vehicle-pedestrian and the hazard accidents. To express thermal images in the condition of road well, we propose the enhancement algorithms using driver visual behavior quantification. The experimental results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm than conventional contrast enhancement method.
