ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18200396 titled 'ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) that utilizes a camera to assist in recognizing the pose of the camera and correcting the distance to an object in the image. Here are the key points of the innovation:
- Communicator communicates with a camera
- Processor receives first and second images from the camera
- Processor obtains first and second feature points from the images
- Processor matches feature points between the images
- Processor calculates optical flow and vanishing point
- Processor recognizes the pose of the camera
- Processor corrects the distance to an object in the image based on the recognized pose
