Abstract
A system and method for determining and detecting a suspension system fault using visual sensor data. The system and method are operative to detect a horizon in response to an image using image processing techniques, compare the detected horizon to an expected or calculated horizon and to determine a faulty suspension component in response to a deviation of the detected horizon from the expected horizon.
Claims20
A vehicle control system comprising:
- a visual sensor for detecting an image depicting a detected horizon;
- a memory for storing a reference horizon;
- a processor for comparing the detected horizon and the reference horizon, the processor further operative to generate a control signal in response to the detected horizon deviating from the reference horizon;
- and
- a vehicle controller for controlling a vehicle control system in response to the control signal.
