Abstract

See full text

A vision method for automatically detecting objects in front of a motor vehicle, comprises the steps of detecting images from a region in front of the vehicle by a vehicle mounted imaging means; generating from said detected images a processed image, containing disparity or vehicle-to-scene distance information; comparing regions-of-interest of said processed image to template objects relating to possible objects in front of the motor vehicle; calculating for each template object a score relating to the match between said processed image and the template object; and identifying large scores of sufficient absolute magnitude of said calculated scores. The vision method further comprises the steps of applying an algorithm adapted to identify groups of said large scores, and assigning an identified group of large scores to a single match object.
