ABSTRACT

Developing multi-modal applications starting from scratch is a tough issue. A middleware provides a full, or partial, solution to an area within the application and supplies more than the basic library, it also supplies associated tools like logging, debugging and performance measurement. As a matter of fact, most algorithms need to use several sensors to reach a good level of detection. RTMaps middleware comes with a user-friendly graphical interface which allows building an application using components connected to each other. The off-the-self component library represents all the already available components in the middleware. ADAS are becoming more and more promoted because several key functions permit to increase the level of vehicle safety. Most of the time, it is a challenge to access to the equipment and sensors information on vehicles, making difficult to design and test these new algorithms.
