The ecological theory of perception shows that when an object is approached, the expansion rate of the retinal image specifies how much time is left before a collision with this object takes place. This idea was chosen as a base for solving the problem of distance regulation when driving vehicles. For this purpose a camera system has to be mounted on a car so that the expansion rate of an object within the camera image when approaching another vehicle can be calculated. In order to be able to make such a calculation, it is mandatory that the shape of the vehicle in front is detected very fast. This can be realized by means of digital image processing, but these procedures are very time consuming.
