  • ADAPTIVE CALIBRATION USING VISIBLE CAR DETAILS
    Publication number: 20180232909
    Abstract: Image data is retrieved from the camera and an image of a neighbouring vehicle is acquired. A vehicle model is derived from the image data and the vehicle model is used to retrieve dimensional information from an onboard database. The dimensional information is correlated with the image data and the correlation is used to determine extrinsic camera parameters.

  • Animal Detection System for a Vehicle
    Publication number: 20160280135
    Abstract: In an embodiment, an animal detection system (11) includes a surround view system (12), a location determination system (13) and a processing module (14). The processing module (14) is configured to receive data from the surround view system (12) and receive data regarding the location of the vehicle (10) from the location determination system (13). The processing module (14) is configured to determine if the location of the vehicle (10) is within an animal zone, and if the location of the vehicle (10) is within an animal zone, to process data received from the surround view system (12).
