A method and device for detecting foot points of moving obstacles in an aerial view using frame difference method
By using the frame difference method for obstacle detection in bird's-eye view, and by utilizing the grayscale and ternary values of multiple consecutive panoramic images, combined with the differential histogram and preset threshold, the problem of detecting obstacle foot points when the camera is moving is solved, thus achieving fast and accurate obstacle detection.

AI Technical Summary
Existing frame difference methods have difficulty effectively detecting moving obstacles when the camera is moving, especially during automatic parking, where they cannot accurately calculate the foot points of moving obstacles.
A method for detecting the foot points of moving obstacles in a bird's-eye view using the frame difference method is proposed. This method acquires multiple consecutive panoramic images, performs grayscale and ternary conversion, draws a difference histogram from multiple perspectives, uses the difference histogram and a preset proportion threshold to determine the foot points of the obstacles, and calculates the final foot point by angle and distance.
It achieves accurate detection of obstacle foot points even when the camera is moving, with low computational load and high speed, making it suitable for automatic parking scenarios.
