Abstract:
PURPOSE: A lane deviation warning system and a method thereof are provided to prevent accidents by warning a driver just before deviating from the lane, and to use conveniently by sounding an alarm according to intention of the driver with predicting the deviation of the lane through image processing. CONSTITUTION: A road is photographed through a CCD(Charge Coupled Device) camera(S10), and data of photographed image is not processed in case of the vehicle speed to be below 20km/h(S20). The image is obtained with processing the image data, and the lane model is constructed with detecting the lane edge(S30). The image hard to detect the lane is alarmed to a driver(S50), and the possibility of the lane deviation is decided in detecting the lane(S40). The alarm is operated just before deviating from the lane. The possibility of lane deviation is predicted in deciding image to detect the lane(S41), and the possibility of lane deviation is detected(S42). The state of a turn signal is detected(S43), and the steering angle is detected(S44). The operation of a brake is detected(S45), and the operation of a wiper is detected(S46). The two-step alarm is output according to lane deviation(S60).
Abstract:
차로 이탈을 방지하면서 안전성을 개선하기 위한 차로 이탈 방지 장치가 제공된다. 차로 이탈 방지 장치는 운전자가 조향 휠을 안정되게 유지하고 있는지를 결정하고, 호스트 차량이 그의 주행 차로로부터 이탈하려는 경향을 갖는지를 결정하고, 이러한 결정 결과에 기초하여 호스트 차량이 그의 주행 차로로부터 이탈하려는 경향을 가지며 운전자가 조향 휠을 안정되게 유지하지 않고 있으면, 경고를 출력하고 호스트 차량의 차로 이탈을 방지하기 위한 제동 제어를 수행한다.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for correcting an image of a vehicle are provided to automatically set up parameters related to lane recognition and alarm logic without re-tuning a program by correcting deviations changed based on reference parameters even if a mounted position of a camera is changed. CONSTITUTION: An image input unit inputs an image of a road(S100). A control unit analyzes an inclination, a width of the road, and a vertex of the image of the road(S200). The control unit compares the analyzed values with reference values of an inclination, a width of the road, and a vertex related to a reference position of camera mounting(S300). It is judged whether a deviation at each point is generated(S400). If so, correction of lane recognition parameters is executed related to the generated deviations to be set up as the current value(S500).
Abstract:
A vehicle lane departure warning system and method uses the vehicle braking system to provide tactile feedback to the driver. In one embodiment, one of the steerable road wheels of the vehicle is braked, to cause force to be transmitted back to the vehicle steering wheel, resulting in the driver receiving tactile feedback through the steering wheel.
Abstract:
A lane tracking system for a vehicle (10) employing redundant imaging devices (12, 14) with different fields of view (16, 20) is disclosed. The imaging devices (12, 5 14) are oriented in generally opposite directions so glare or other harsh lighting hampering one imaging device will not affect the other device. The appropriate image is selected based on image quality and used to detect lane markers (24) and vehicle position. A preferred application for lane departure warning is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for automatically controlling a position of a vehicle (1) relative to a road boundary (5a, 5b) extending along a road (2) on which the vehicle is driving. The method comprises the steps of determining a distance to the road boundary or an estimated time to the road boundary, determining if the distance to the road boundary is shorter than a predetermined distance or if the estimated time to the road boundary is shorter than a predetermined time, and braking at least one wheel associated with a vehicle side turned away from the road boundary and activating a retarder, if the distance to the road boundary is shorter than the predetermined distance or if the estimated time to the road boundary is shorter than the predetermined time. The invention also relates to a second method and two computer programs.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for monitoring or influencing the movement of a vehicle on a path. According to said method, a desired path (40) and an actual movement (41) of the vehicle are determined, said desired path and said actual movement are compared (43), and an information variable (45) is conveyed to the driver of the vehicle by haptic means according to the result of the comparison or at least one wheel brake is controlled according to the result of the comparison.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for displaying information in a motor vehicle, whereby one section of an image captured by a camera (2) is displayed on a display unit (11). The image section contains a traffic sign after evaluation by a control and evaluation unit (16).
