Abstract:
A non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions to be executed by the processor. The code comprises code to cause the processor to receive a first image and a second image from a stereo camera pair disposed with a vehicle. The code causes the processor to detect, using a machine learning model, an object based on the first image, the object located within a pre-defined area within a vicinity of the vehicle. The code causes the processor to determine a distance between the object and the vehicle based on disparity between the first image and the second image. The code causes the processor to determine a longitudinal value of the vehicle based on the distance and a height of the vehicle. The code causes the processor to send an instruction to facilitate driving of the vehicle based on a road profile associated with the longitudinal value.
