Abstract
Driver assistance systems for detecting a structural barrier extending along a road. The driver assistance system may be mountable in a host vehicle. The camera may capture multiple image frames in the forward field of view of the camera. A processor may process motion of images of the barrier in the image frames. The camera may be a single camera. The motion of the images may be responsive to forward motion of the host vehicle and/or the motion of the images may be responsive to lateral motion of the host vehicle.
Claims20
A method for detection of a structural barrier extending along a road, the method performed by a driver assistance system mountable in a host vehicle, wherein the driver assistance system includes a camera operatively connectible to a processor, the method comprising:
- capturing a plurality of image frames in the forward field of view of the camera;
- and
- in the image frames, processing motion of images of the structural barrier thereby detecting the structural barrier.
A driver assistance system for detecting a vertical structural barrier extending along a road, wherein the driver assistance system is mountable in a host vehicle, the driver assistance system comprising:
- a camera operable to capture a plurality of image frames in the forward field of view of the camera;
- and
- a processor operatively connected to the camera, wherein the processor is operable to process in the image frames, motion of the images of the barrier to detect the barrier.
