The "Artificial Vision and Intelligent Systems Lab" of the Dip.di Ingegneria dell'Informazione, Universita` di Parma, Italy, is active in the field of intelligent vehicles and particularly on the development of artificial vision systems for advance vehicle safety. Since the late 80's it has been involved in many projects with automotive industries and research centers. One of the most relevant results is the 'MilleMiglia in Automatico' tour, a 2000+ km test drive of the ARGO autonomous vehicle (totally developed in the Lab) on italian highways in normal traffic and weather conditions; during this test (June 1998) the ARGO vehicle drove for almost 95% of the distance in automatic mode. Currently the Lab is involved in projects related to the use of daytime and infrared vision for human shape localization and pedestrian detection, as well as obstacle, lane, and vehicle detection.
