Abstract
A processing device includes a first processor configured to detect a bounding box of a distant vehicle, in an input image generated by imaging the distant vehicle, and extract at least one feature of the distant vehicle. A second processor is configured to estimate a geometry of a road on which the distant vehicle is located, based on a position of at least one feature relative to at least a portion of the bounding box.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- obtaining an input image, the input image being generated by imaging a distant vehicle;
- detecting a bounding box of the distant vehicle from the input image;
- extracting at least one feature of the distant vehicle from the input image;
- and
- estimating a geometry of a road on which the distant vehicle is located, based on a position of the at least one feature relative to at least a portion of the bounding box.

A vehicle comprising:
- a camera module configured to image a distant vehicle and generate an input image;
- a processing device configured to detect a bounding box and at least one feature of the distant vehicle in the input image and estimate a geometry of a road on which the distant vehicle is located, based on a position of the at least one feature relative to at least a portion of the bounding box;
- and
- a controller configured to generate a control signal for controlling the vehicle, based on the geometry of the road.
