METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSISTING VEHICLE STOPPING USING SVM

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18428567 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSISTING VEHICLE STOPPING USING SVM

Original Abstract Submitted

A method and apparatus for assisting a vehicle to stop at crosswalks and intersections by using a surround view monitor (SVM). In particular, the method includes: obtaining a front top-view image of the vehicle by using the SVM, performing a stop line detection in the front top-view image, and performing a crosswalk detection in the front top-view image in response to no detection of a stop line. The method further includes: generating a virtual stop line in response to a detection of a crosswalk, and controlling the vehicle to stop based on the detected stop line or the generated virtual stop line.
