IMAGE BASED REFERENCE POSITION IDENTIFICATION AND USE FOR CAMERA MONITORING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013555 titled 'IMAGE BASED REFERENCE POSITION IDENTIFICATION AND USE FOR CAMERA MONITORING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for determining the image reference position of a road lane captured by a camera in a camera monitoring system (CMS) for a vehicle. The method involves analyzing the image to identify the inner edge of each lane line and extending these edges to find the vanishing point where they meet. This vanishing point is then provided to the CMS system as the image reference position.
- The method involves receiving at least one image from a camera in a vehicle's CMS.
- The image includes a road lane defined by two identifiable lane lines.
- The inner edge of each lane line is identified using image-based analysis.
- The vanishing point of the two identified lane lines is determined by extending the inner edges to the point where they meet.
- The vanishing point is provided to the CMS system as the image reference position.
Potential Applications:
- Lane departure warning systems in vehicles.
- Autonomous driving systems for accurate lane keeping.
- Traffic monitoring and analysis for road infrastructure planning.
Problems Solved:
- Accurate determination of the image reference position for a road lane.
- Improved lane detection and tracking in CMS systems.
- Enhanced accuracy of lane departure warning and autonomous driving systems.
Benefits:
- Improved safety by providing accurate lane departure warnings.
- Enhanced accuracy of autonomous driving systems for precise lane keeping.
- Efficient traffic monitoring and analysis for better road infrastructure planning.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for determining an image reference position includes receiving at least one image from at least one camera at a controller, the image includes a road lane that is defined by two identifiable lane lines and the camera is a component of a camera monitoring system (cms) for a vehicle. an inner edge of each lane line is identified in the two identified lane lines using image based analysis, and a vanishing point of the two identified lane lines is identified by extending the identified inner edges of each lane line to a point where the extended inner edges meet using the controller, and the vanishing point is provided to at least one cms system as the image reference position.
