In this paper, it is argued that the study of cooperative markings could yield significant supplement to processing schemes that discriminate targets from a wide variety backgrounds. A general research methodology leading to testable specifications for cooperative markings is forwarded, followed by descriptions of two- interrelated generic components of such a workable cooperative marking system: sensing systems and cooperative markings. These are given to support the premise that cooperative markings could indeed be a valuable supplement -- and perhaps even an enabler -- to intelligent vehicle safety services. Applied intelligently, the emerging generation of driver-assist sensors could still operate autonomously but as selected cooperative market installations grew, the supplemental benefit could in turn spur increased market penetration for those devices, and in the end, increase driver comfort convenience and safety. |
