Abstract : RACCOON is a vision-based systen that tracks car taillights at night. It builds a global map in real time of the lead vehicle?s position based on the location and separation of the taillights in a sequence of video images. RACCOON has been integrated into a car following experiment on the CMU Navlab II, a computer-controlled HMMWV testbed. The Navlab II safely followed a lead vehicle on a winding road in light traffic at 32 km/h. 1.,
