    摘要: A vision system for a vehicle that identifies and classifies objects (targets) located proximate a vehicle. The system comprises a sensor array that produces imagery that is processed to generate depth maps of the scene proximate a vehicle. The depth maps are processed and compared to pre-rendered templates of target objects that could appear proximate the vehicle. A target list is produced by matching the pre-rendered templates to the depth map imagery. The system processes the target list to produce target size and classification estimates. The target is then tracked as it moves near a vehicle and the target position, classification and velocity are determined. This information can be used in a number of ways. For example, the target information may be displayed to the driver, the information may be used for an obstacle avoidance system that adjusts the trajectory or other parameters of the vehicle to safely avoid the obstacle. The orientation and/or configuration of the vehicle may be adapted to mitigate damage resulting from an imminent collision, or the driver may be warned of an impending collision.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices are used to match images. Points of interest from a first image are identified for matching to a second image. In response to the identified points of interest, regions and features can be identified and used to match the points of interest to a corresponding second image or second series of images. Regions can be used to match the points of interest when regions of the first image are matched to the second image with high confidence scores, for example above a threshold. Features of the first image can be matched to the second image, and these matched features may be used to match the points of interest to the second image, for example when the confidence scores for the regions are below the threshold value. Constraint can be used to evaluate the matched points of interest, for example by excluding bad points.

    摘要: A vehicle vision system that identifies pedestrians located proximate a vehicle. The system comprises a sensor array that produces imagery that is processed to generate disparity images. A depth map can be produced from the disparity images. Either the depth map or the disparity images are processed and compared to pedestrian templates. A pedestrian list is produced from the results of that comparison. The pedestrian list is processed to eliminate false pedestrians as determined by inverse eccentricity. The pedestrians are then tracked, and if a collision is possible, that information is provided to the driver and/or to an automated collision avoidance or damage or injury mitigation system.

    摘要: A vision system that forms a map of a scene proximate a platform, e.g., a vehicle, that determines the actual ground plane form the map, and that corrects the map for differences between the actual ground plane and an assumed ground plane. The vision system may remove the actual ground plane from the map to prevent false positives. The vision system can further identify and classify objects and, if appropriate, take evasive action.

    摘要: A vehicle vision system that uses a depth map, image intensity data, and system calibration parameter to determine a target's dimensions and relative position. Initial target boundary information is projected onto the depth map and onto the image intensity. A visibility analysis determines whether the rear of a target is within the system's field of view. If so, the mapped image boundary is analyzed to determine an upper boundary of the target. Then, vertical image edges of the mapped image boundary are found by searching for a strongest pair of vertical image edges that are located at about the same depth. Then, the bottom of the mapped image boundary is found (or assumed from calibration parameters). Then, the target's position is found by an averaging technique. The height and width of the target are then computed.
