METHOD FOR DETECTING AN IMMINENT ROLLOVER OF A VEHICLE

摘要

A method and a device for detecting an imminent rollover of a vehicle. The method comprises taking a series of images of the surroundings of the vehicle, in particular of the road ahead, with a camera; determining and tracking point features in the series of images; eliminating point features which are located on objects that move relative to the stationary surroundings of the vehicle; and computing at least one parameter of the rotational movement of the camera (roll, pitch and/or yaw rate) taking into account the remaining point features.

1. A method for detecting an imminent rollover of a vehicle, comprising
a) Taking a series of images of the surroundings of the vehicle with a camera, b) Determining and tracking point features in the series of images, c) Eliminating point features which are located on objects that move relative to the stationary surroundings of the vehicle, and d) Computing at least one rotational parameter of the camera movement (roll φ′), pitch (θ′) and/or yaw rate (ψ′)) taking into account the remaining point features.
