Method for virtual attitude measurement of the structure of a vehicle traveling on a carriageway uses a camera to send external images to an image processor and an on-board computer to set coordinates for a vanishing point in the image

摘要

At specific intervals of time a camera on the vehicle side delivers an image of an external area in front of the vehicle to an image processor on the vehicle. An on-board computer determines the coordinates for a vanishing point in the image and transforms these coordinates into position coordinates for the vehicle. The computer uses object edges to determine the vertical coordinates of the vanishing point in the image. An Independent claim is also included for a device for virtual attitude measurement of vehicle structure for a vehicle traveling along a carriageway.
