ステレオ視差と画像上の先行車高さ変化による車間距離計測のばらつき低減手法の考察

抄録

This paper describes a method to reduce a variance of measured headway distance using stereo vision. In this method, first, headway distances are measured by both the stereo disparity and the difference of the size of a preceding vehicle on image, and then one of them which has smaller variance is chosen as the headway distance. The size of a preceding vehicle on image is measured by a new method of detecting the edges on the preceding vehicle which alleviates the bad influence of change in back ground. A headway distance measuring system using this method has been developed, showing the effectiveness on tracking a preceding vehicle within 25m headway distance.
