Abstract: A lane monitoring system deployed on a vehicle is provided for monitoring the position of the vehicle relative to a lane in which the vehicle is traveling. The system comprises a front camera for capturing front lane image data relating to an area substantially to the front of the vehicle and a rear camera for capturing rear lane image data relating to an area substantially to the rear of the vehicle. A processor is coupled to the front camera and the rear camera and is configured to receive the front lane image data and the rear lane image data. The processor is further configured to determine the position of the vehicle relative to the lane boundary from (1) the front lane image data when the front camera is operational, and (2) the rear lane image data when the front camera is not operational and the rear camera is operational.

Abstract translation: 部署在车辆上的车道监控系统被提供用于监测车辆相对于车辆行驶的车道的位置。 该系统包括用于捕获与车辆前方大致相对的区域的前车道图像数据的前置照相机和用于捕获与车辆后方大致相邻的区域的后车道图像数据的后照相机。 处理器耦合到前置摄像机和后置摄像机，并且被配置为接收前车道图像数据和后车道图像数据。 所述处理器进一步被配置为当前置摄像机可操作时，从（1）前车道图像数据确定车辆相对于车道边界的位置;以及（2）当前置摄像机不工作时的后车道图像数据，以及 后置摄像头正在工作。
