Abstract
A method of estimating a time to collision (TTC) of a vehicle with an object comprising: acquiring a plurality of images of the object; and determining a TTC from the images that is responsive to a relative velocity and relative acceleration between the vehicle and the object.

A system for providing an indication of a possible collision between a vehicle and an object, the system comprising:
- at least one processing device configured to:
- receive a plurality of images from an image capture device;
- use the plurality of images to determine at least one collision parameter and to determine trajectories, in the plurality of images, of at least two features of the object;
- determine whether the vehicle and the object are on a collision course based on the at least one collision parameter and the trajectories of the at least two features of the object;
- and
- cause a response in the system the vehicle and the object are determined to be on a collision course.
A system for providing an indication of a possible collision between a vehicle and an object, the system comprising:
- at least one processing device configured to:
- receive a plurality of images from an image capture device;
- identify a position of the object in at least two images of the plurality of images;
- determine if the vehicle and the object are on a collision course based on the position of the object in the at least two images;
- and
- cause a response in the system if the vehicle and the object are determined to be on a collision course.
A system for providing an indication of a possible collision between a vehicle and an object, the system comprising:
- at least one processing device configured to:
- receive a plurality of images from an image capture device;
- identify the object and at least one lane marking in the plurality of images;
- determine, from the plurality of images, information indicative of movement of the object and a lane position associated with the object;
- determine whether the vehicle and the object are on collision course based on the information indicative of movement of the object and based on the lane position associated with the object;
- and
- cause a response in the system if the vehicle and the object are determined to be on a collision course.
