Verifying A Target Object With Reverse-Parallax Analysis

摘要

A vehicle configured to operate in an autonomous mode may engage in a reverse-parallax analysis that includes a vehicle system detecting an object, capturing via a camera located at a first location a first image of the detected object, retrieving location data specifying (i) a location of a target object, (ii) the first location, and (iii) a direction of the camera, and based on the location data and the position of the detected object in the first image, predicting where in a second image captured from a second location the detected object would appear if the detected object is the target object.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
a vehicle system detecting an object, the vehicle system being communicatively coupled with a vehicle; the vehicle system simultaneously (i) capturing, via a first camera located at a first location, a first image of the detected object, the detected object having a position in the first image, and (ii) capturing, via a second camera located at a second location, a second image of the detected object; the vehicle system retrieving location data specifying (a) a location of a target object, (b) the first location, (c) the second location, (d) a direction of the first camera, and (e) a direction of the second camera; and based on the location data and the position of the detected object in the first image, the vehicle system predicting where in the second image the detected object would appear if the detected object is the target object.
