Monocular Camera System for Detecting a Small Object at Far Range -
Application 2022-01-0080
For the autonomous driving and the ADAS, we have been developing the new vision
system. It focuses on detecting the small object at far ranges and keeps the
vehicle running smoothly by avoiding the object in advance. This system is based
on the high-resolution monocular camera with narrow FOV and the core algorithms
for object-detection and lane-detection. Since we have already developed the
prototype system, here we have applied it to a field test. The test results are:
for traffic cones and arbitrary objects at 50 -
150 [m], the detection rate is 95.6% for
n=90, the ghost rate is
0% for n=53, and the range
accuracy is 7.1 [m] for n=72.
To attain this performance, we also have developed the support
algorithms/methods for deleting a ghost object caused by a puddle, determining
the side line for an object with obscure boundary and estimating the elevation
angle.
