  • Patent number: 9508016
    Abstract: A dynamic lane line detection system and method is disclosed herein. Four wide-angle lenses are respectively arranged at four sides of a vehicle and capture distorted images. A vehicular image integration unit transforms the distorted images into an ordinary planar image and presents the planar image on an image display device together with an image of lane lines as information of lane departure warning for the driver. The system undertakes moving obstacle detection, around view monitor, or parking assistant according to images captured by four wide-angle lenses and the gearshift signal, speed signal, turning angle signal received by a vehicular signal receiving device. The present invention uses the wide-angle lenses and the vehicular image integration unit to effectively integrate lane departure information with a panoramic image, whereby to decrease the economical burden of the vehicle buyer and reduce the volume of hardware.
