Abstract
A system and method for lateral vehicle detection is disclosed. A particular embodiment can be configured to: receive lateral image data from at least one laterally-facing camera associated with an autonomous vehicle; warp the lateral image data based on a line parallel to a side of the autonomous vehicle; perform object extraction on the warped lateral image data to identify extracted objects in the warped lateral image data; and apply bounding boxes around the extracted objects.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a data processor;
- and
- a memory for storing an autonomous lateral vehicle detection system, executable by the data processor, the autonomous lateral vehicle detection system being configured to:
- receive image data from at least one camera installed on an autonomous vehicle;
- warp the image data based on an orientation of the autonomous vehicle and an installation orientation of the at least one camera relative to the orientation of the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- extract an object from the warped image data.
A method comprising:
- receiving image data from at least one camera installed on an autonomous vehicle;
- warping the image data based on an orientation of the autonomous vehicle and an installation orientation of the at least one camera relative to the orientation of the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- extracting an object from the warped image data.
A non-transitory machine-useable storage medium embodying instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- receive image data from at least one camera installed on an autonomous vehicle;
- warp the image data based on an orientation of the autonomous vehicle and an installation orientation of the at least one camera relative to the orientation of the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- extract an object from the warped image data.
