Computer Vision in Vehicle Technology

Preface

This book was born following the spirit of the Computer Vision in Vehicular Technology (CVVT) Workshop. At the moment of finishing this book, the 7th CVVT Workshop CVPR'2016 is being held in Las Vegas. Previous CVVT Workshops include the CVPR'2015 in Boston (http://adas.cvc.uab.es/CVVT2015/), ECCV'2014 in Zurich (http://adas.cvc.uab.es/CVVT2014/), ICCV'2013 in Sydney (http://adas.cvc.uab.es/CVVT2013/), ECCV'2012 in Firenze (http://adas.cvc.uab.es/CVVT2012/), ICCV'2011 in Barcelona (http://adas.cvc.uab.es/CVVT2011/), and ACCV'2010 in Queenstown (http://www.media.imit.chiba-u.jp/CVVT2010/). This implies throughout these years, many invited speakers, co-organizers, contributing authors, and sponsors have helped to keep CVVT alive and exciting. We are enormously grateful to all of them! Of course, we also want to give special thanks to the authors of this book, who kindly accepted the challenge of writing their respective chapters.
