Another View Point Image Generation with Shifted Perspective Using Two In-Vehicle Camera Images for Car Navigation System Based on Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks

Abstract

It is expected that telepresence techniques are introduced into a car navigation system. For example, the navigation system presents a road scene taken from different points of view to drivers. The realization of the system require cameras on a road demanded by drivers. However, available cameras of roads are generally insufficient. We aim to construct an another view point image generation with shifted perspective using two in-vehicle camera images based on ad-hoc networks. Using the models of a few virtual planes produced from measurement points, we have shown that the transformation is performed in real time. Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
