Autonomous driving safety is becoming a paramount issue due to the emergence of many autonomous vehicle prototypes. The safety measures ensure that autonomous vehicles are safe to operate among pedestrians, cyclists and conventional vehicles. While safety measures for pedestrians have been widely studied in literature, little attention has been paid to safety measures for cyclists. Visual cyclists analysis is a challenging problem due to the complex structure and dynamic nature of the cyclists. The dynamic model used for cyclists analysis heavily relies on the wheels. In this paper, we investigate the problem of ellipse detection for visual cyclists analysis in the wild. Our first contribution is the introduction of a new challenging annotated dataset for bicycle wheels, collected in real-world urban environment. Our second contribution is a method that combines reliable arcs selection and grouping strategies for ellipse detection. The reliable selection and grouping mechanism leads to robust ellipse detections when combined with the standard least square ellipse fitting approach. Our experiments clearly demonstrate that our method provides improved results, both in terms of accuracy and robustness in challenging urban environment settings. ; Funding agencies: VR (EMC2, ELLIIT, starting grant) [2016-05543]; Vinnova (Cykla)
