Embodiment Construction

[0010] In the following description of examples, specific examples that may be implemented are shown by way of illustration in part with the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that other examples may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the disclosed examples.

[0011] Figures 1A-1D An exemplary depth map is shown according to an example of the present disclosure. In some examples, a depth map of the surroundings may be created based on two images of the vehicle's surroundings, each image taken from a different perspective. For example, the two images can be captured from two different image sensors (e.g., composed of stereo cameras) or from a single camera that moves after the first image is captured (e.g., a vehicle-mounted camera that continuously captures two cameras while the vehicle is moving). side-facing camera for each picture). Refer to the following figure 2 Describes a method for generating a depth map. ...

Abstract

The present invention is generally directed to methods and systems of estimating visibility around a vehicle and automatically configuring one or more systems in response to the visibility level. The visibility level can be estimated by comparing two images of the vehicle's surroundings, each taken from a different perspective. Distance of objects in the images can be estimated based on the disparity between the two images, and the visibility level (e.g., a distance) can be estimated based on the farthest object that is visible in the images.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 288,873, filed January 29, 2016, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all intended purposes. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the invention generally relate to a system and method for determining visibility around a vehicle, such as an automobile. [0004] Background of the invention [0005] Modern vehicles, especially automobiles, increasingly offer automated driving and driver assistance systems such as blind spot monitors, automated parking and automated navigation. However, autonomous driving systems would rely on cameras and other optical imagers that would be unreliable in conditions of reduced visibility, such as fog. Contents of the invention [0006] Examples of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and systems that estimate visibility around a vehicle and automa...
