Being aware of other vehicles on the road ahead is a key information to help driver assistance systems to increase driver’s safety. This paper addresses this problem, proposing a system to detect vehicles from the images provided by a single camera mounted in a mobile platform. A classifier–based approach is presented, based on the evaluation of a cascade of classifiers (COC) at different scanned image regions. The Adaboost algorithm is used to determine the COC from training sets. Two proposals are done to reduce the computation needed for the detection scheme used: a lazy evaluation of the COC, and the customization of the COC by a wrapping process. The benefits of these two proposals are quantified in terms of the average number of image features required to classify an image region, achieving a reduction of the 58% on this concept, while scarcely penalizing the detection accuracy of the system.
