Abstract: A method for calibrating a vehicular camera includes providing at least a front or rear camera and a side camera with overlapping fields of view, and calibrating the front or rear camera, capturing a calibrated frame of image data with the front or rear camera, and capturing a sideward frame of image data with a side camera. At least one feature is determined present in the overlapping region of the calibrated frame, and pixel positions of the determined feature are predicted for the side camera. Misalignment of the side camera is determined based on a comparison of the predicted pixel positions of the determined feature to the pixel positions of the determined feature in the sideward frame of image data captured by the side camera. Processing of image data captured by the side camera is adjusted to accommodate the determined misalignment.

Abstract: A method for dynamically ascertaining alignment of a vehicular camera relative to a vehicle to which the camera is attached includes determining a plurality of steering angle ranges for the vehicle, each of which is a range of steering angles that approximates straight vehicle motion over less than two seconds of travel time of the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion and turning. Image data captured by a camera of the vehicle is processed to determine a central vanishing point when the vehicle is in motion and moving straight. A plurality of feature points are selected in the image frames for each steering angle range, and a vanishing point for a plurality of tracked motion trajectories for each steering angle range is determined. An alignment of the camera is determined based at least in part on the determined central vanishing point and a determined vanishing line.

Abstract: A method for dynamically calibrating without manual intervention a forward viewing vehicular camera with respect to its three rotational degrees of freedom includes disposing a camera at a vehicle and operating the camera to acquire multiple frames of image data as the vehicle is moving and steered through a plurality of steering angles. Feature points are determined in an image frame when the vehicle is steered within a respective range of steering angles and motion trajectories of those feature points are tracked in subsequent image frames for the respective range of steering angles. A vanishing point is established in the image plane for the feature points for the respective range of steering angles. Based on established vanishing points, a vanishing line is determined. When the vanishing line is determined to be non-horizontal, at least one of pitch, roll or yaw of the camera is adjusted.

Abstract: A method for dynamically correcting misalignment of a vehicular camera includes fixedly disposing a camera at a vehicle and operating the camera to acquire multiple frames of image data while the vehicle is moving generally in a straight line. A plurality of sets of feature points are selected in an image frame, with each set including a first feature point and a second feature point. For each set of feature points, a motion trajectory of that set's feature points is tracked in subsequent image frames. For each tracked first and second feature points, a vanishing point is established in the image plane. Based on the established vanishing point, a vanishing line is determined in the image plane. When the vanishing line is determined to be non-horizontal in the image plane, at least one of pitch, roll or yaw of the camera is adjusted to correct rotational misalignment of the camera.

Abstract: A dynamic image stitching system for stitching images captured by multiple cameras of a vision system of a vehicle includes a first camera disposed at a vehicle and having a first field of view exterior the vehicle and a second camera disposed at the vehicle and having a second field of view exterior the vehicle. The first and second fields of view at least partially overlap. A processor is operable to process image data captured by the first and second cameras. The processor processes captured image data to determine characteristics of features or objects present in the overlapping region of the first and second fields of view. The processor is operable to adjust a stitching algorithm responsive to a determination of a difference between a characteristic of a feature as captured by the first camera and the characteristic of the feature as captured by the second camera.

Abstract: A trailer hitching assist system for a vehicle includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and having a field of view rearward of the vehicle. A control includes an image processor operable to process image data captured by the camera. The image processor, via image processing of image data captured by the camera, detects a trailer and trailer hitch rearward of the vehicle and determines a first path of travel for the vehicle to follow so as to maneuver the vehicle so as to have its tow ball aligned with the trailer hitch. The control maneuvers the vehicle along the determined first path of travel. Responsive to detection of an object entering the first path of travel, the control determines a second path of travel and maneuvers the vehicle along the second path of travel to avoid the detected object entering the determined path of travel.

Abstract: A vehicular trailer angle detection system includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle. The vehicular trailer angle detection system, via processing of frames of image data captured by the camera, tracks changes of features present in a current frame of captured image data and present in a previous frame of captured image data and determines features of the trailer based on the tracked changes of features. The determined features of the trailer have respective changes between the current frame of image data captured by the camera and the previous frame of image data captured by the camera. The vehicular trailer angle detection system determines angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle based at least in part on tracking of the determined features of the trailer over multiple captured frames of image data.

Abstract: A vehicular trailer hitching assist system includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and viewing a trailer hitch disposed at the vehicle. Responsive to processing at an electronic control unit (ECU) of frames of image data captured by the camera, a feature of the trailer hitch is detected. The system, at least in part via processing at the ECU of at least one frame of image data captured by the camera, determines a ground location at the ground below the detected feature of the trailer hitch, and determines a location of the trailer hitch at the vehicle. The vehicle is maneuvered toward a trailer for hitching the trailer to the trailer hitch of the vehicle based at least in part on (i) the determined location of the trailer hitch and (ii) the height of the detected feature of the trailer hitch above the ground location.

Abstract: A method for determining features of a trailer being towed by a vehicle includes initiating a calibration drive of the vehicle and capturing frames of image data via a vehicle camera, and, via processing by an image processor of frames of captured image data, determining features of the trailer being towed by the vehicle during the calibration drive. The features of the trailer are determined by determining features that have similar changes between a current frame of captured image data and a previous frame of captured image data captured during the calibration drive. The features are tracked over multiple frames of captured image data for different angular positions of the trailer relative to the vehicle to determine trailer length from the hitch ball of the vehicle to an axle of the trailer. The trailer angle is determined based on the determined trailer length.

An electronic control unit (ECU) includes an image processor operable to process image data captured by the camera. The ECU, via image processing of image data captured by the camera, detects a trailer rearward of the vehicle and determines a first path of travel for the vehicle to follow to maneuver the vehicle toward the trailer and to align the tow ball of the vehicle with a trailer hitch of the trailer. The ECU generates an output to maneuver the vehicle along the determined first path of travel. Responsive to detection of an object entering the first path of travel, the ECU determines a second path of travel for the vehicle to follow that avoids the detected object entering the determined path of travel.
