Abstract: A method for estimating distance of an object from a moving vehicle is provided. The method includes detecting, by a camera module in one or more image frames, an object on a road on which the vehicle is moving. The method includes electronically determining a pair of lane markings associated with the road. The method further includes electronically determining a lane width between the pair of the lane markings in an image coordinate of the one or more image frames. The lane width is determined at a location of the object on the road. The method includes electronically determininga real world distance of the object from the vehicle based at least on number of pixels corresponding to the lane width in the image coordinate, a pre-defined lane width associated with the road and at least one camera parameter of the camera module.

Abstract: Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and methods for object detection such as traffic lights, speed signs, in an automotive environment, are disclosed. In an embodiment, ADAS includes camera system for capturing image frames of at least a part of surroundings of vehicle, memory comprising image processing instructions and processing system for detecting one or more objects in a coarse detection followed by a fine detection. Coarse detection includes detecting presence of the one or more objects in non-consecutive image frames of the image frames, where non-consecutive image frames are determined by skipping one or more frames of the image frames. Upon detection of presence of the one or more objects in coarse detection, fine detection of the one or more objects is performed in a predetermined number of neighboring image frames of a frame in which the presence of the objects is detected in coarse detection.
