Abstract :
A vision based system for line warning is proposed to assist drivers in preventing road departures due to a sleep accident or inattention. It is based on monitoring of the 2D motion field generated by the vehicle motion. A prototype analog smart sensor with embedded motion estimation is presented as a new attractive real time implementation of the system
