Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for estimating the attention level of the driver of a vehicle in a traffic lane, comprising the following steps: —the continuous capture of images (10) of the ground, —the reconstruction of an aerial view (11, 12) of a ground segment at successive instants t, —the reconstruction of an aerial view (11, 12) of a road segment at successive current instants t, —the estimation of the lateral position of the vehicle (100) in the reconstructed aerial view (11, 12), and the storage of said estimated positions of the vehicle, —the determination of an estimated attention level of the driver at a past instant t3, as a function: o of the evolution of the lateral position of the vehicle, o of the analysis of the profile of a road portion at least partially situated upstream of the vehicle at the instant t3.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for estimating the attention level of the driver of a vehicle in a traffic lane, comprising the following steps: —the continuous capture of images (10) of the ground, —the reconstruction of an serial view (11, 12) of a ground segment at successive instants t, —the reconstruction of an serial view (11, 12) of a road segment at successive current instants t, —the estimation of the lateral position of the vehicle (100) in the reconstructed serial view (11, 12), and the storage of said estimated positions of the vehicle, —the determination of an estimated attention level of the driver at a past instant t3, as a function: ?of the evolution of the lateral position of the vehicle, ?of the analysis of the profile of a road portion at least partially situated upstream of the vehicle at the instant t3.

Abstract: In order to extend a visibility area of a camera mounted on a vehicle, the method of the invention comprises a step of generating a basic virtual image (I2v) in which a set of pixels of the basic virtual image is correlated with a set of pixels of a real image (I1R) captured by the camera while taking into account that the set of pixels of the real image reproduces a planar surface of the real world, and a step of building a virtual cumulative image (I3v) in which at least a portion of the basic virtual image (I2v) is superimposed on at least a portion of the cumulative virtual image (I3v) while coinciding the points of interest of the basic virtual image (I2v) with the points of interest of the cumulative virtual image (I3v).
