| Abstract | Vehicle position estimation is a key technology for Inter-Vehicle Communications, while template matching can be used to get information of vehicular position. In the paper, a simplified template matching, namely area-based template match is considered. A vehicular communication system designed for wireless data application is proposed where a camera is fixed in a vehicle which is served as a base station. By means of comparison between the outline area of vehicular image and reference templates, the base station can obtain the position estimation of the vehicle. The reference templates can be pre-calculated from a group of field experiment data. Based on supervised learning, we develop an image-based vehicle position estimation method and evaluate its effect on an adaptive coding modulation scheme. The computer simulation results show that in the wireless fading channel with the OFDM physical model, compared with fixed modulation coding scheme, the studied adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) scheme taking account of the position estimation can gain greater throughput. |
