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 improve distance measurement accuracy and object recognition. The system includes a communicator, a processor, and various image processing algorithms to achieve this goal.
- The system receives two images from the camera and extracts feature points from each image.
- It matches feature points between the two images to calculate optical flow and vanishing point.
- The system then determines the camera's pose based on the optical flow and vanishing point, which helps in correcting the distance to objects in the scene.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, collision avoidance systems, and parking assistance systems.
Problems Solved
The system addresses the challenge of accurately measuring distances to objects in the camera's field of view, which is crucial for safe driving and maneuvering.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in distance measurement - Enhanced object recognition capabilities - Increased safety on the road
Potential Commercial Applications
"Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) for Enhanced Distance Measurement and Object Recognition"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that use optical flow and feature matching for object recognition and distance measurement in computer vision applications.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle varying lighting conditions and weather effects on image quality?
The patent application does not provide details on how the system compensates for changes in lighting conditions or adverse weather effects that may impact image quality and feature extraction accuracy.
What is the computational overhead of the system and how does it impact real-time performance?
The patent application does not address the computational resources required to process images, extract features, and calculate distances in real-time, which could be crucial for practical implementation in ADAS systems.
