ROAD SURFACE ESTIMATION USING VEHICLE DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240317237 titled 'ROAD SURFACE ESTIMATION USING VEHICLE DETECTION
The present disclosure pertains to autonomous driving and driver assistance systems. A device associated with a vehicle captures images of a reference vehicle on the road ahead. It estimates the size and position of the reference vehicle and tracks its trajectory. The device then estimates the road's surface geometry based on the reference vehicle's movement.

Original Abstract Submitted
various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to autonomous driving and driver assistance systems. in some aspects, a device associated with an ego vehicle may obtain a series of images that depict a reference vehicle traveling along a road segment ahead of the ego vehicle. the device may estimate, based on the series of images, a size of the reference vehicle and/or a position of the reference vehicle relative to the ego vehicle. the device may track a trajectory of the reference vehicle along the road segment ahead of the ego vehicle based on the estimated size of the reference vehicle and/or the estimated position of the reference vehicle over the series of images. the device may estimate a surface geometry associated with the road segment ahead of the ego vehicle based on the tracked trajectory of the reference vehicle. numerous other aspects are described.
