Tomographical scene reconstruction in the active safety car project

Tomographical reconstruction algorithms can be applied to camera based mesaurements and thus reconstruct the scenery without knowledge about included objects. The latter is interesting in the domain of driver assistance systems that have to monitor the driveway independently from a priori knowledge about possibly appearing objects. The paper presents tomographical background information, the transfer from radiographing to visual light rays and its negative impacts, and some first result obtained by applying the presented algorithm to images of a fromn view camera.
