    Abstract: Various driver assistance systems mountable in a host vehicle and computerized methods for detecting a vertical deviation of a road surface. The driver assistance system includes a camera operatively connectible to a processor. Multiple consecutive image frames are captured from the camera including a first image of the road and a second image of the road. Based on the host vehicle motion, the second image is warped toward the first image to produce thereby a warped second image. Image points of the road in the first image and corresponding image points of the road in the warped second image are tracked. Optical flow is computed between the warped second image to the first image. The optical flow is compared with an optical flow based on a road surface model to produce a residual optical flow. The vertical deviation is computed from the residual optical flow.

    Abstract: Computing a time-to-contact (TTC) of a vehicle with an object. The object includes a light source. The system mountable in the vehicle includes a camera and a processor configured to capture images of the object. The processor is operable to track a spot between the images to produce a tracked spot. The spot includes an image of the light source. The processor is operable to compute time-to-contact (TTC) responsive to changes in brightness of the tracked spot.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating an autonomous vehicle. In one implementation, a system includes a processing device programmed to receive a plurality of images representative of an environment of the host vehicle. The environment includes a road on which the host vehicle is traveling. The at least one processing device is further programmed to analyze the images to identify a target vehicle traveling in a lane of the road different from a lane in which the host vehicle is traveling; analyze the images to identify a lane mark associated with the lane in which the target vehicle is traveling; detect lane mark characteristics of the identified lane mark; use the detected lane mark characteristics to determine a type of the identified lane mark; determine a characteristic of the target vehicle; and determine a navigational action for the host vehicle based on the determined lane mark type and the determined characteristic of the target vehicle.

    Abstract: An imaging system is provided for a vehicle. In one implementation, the imaging system includes an imaging module, a first camera coupled to the imaging module, a second camera coupled to the imaging module, and a mounting assembly configured to attach the imaging module to the vehicle such that the first and second camera face outward with respect to the vehicle. The first camera has a first field of view and a first optical axis, and the second camera has a second field of view and a second optical axis. The first optical axis crosses the second optical axis in at least one crossing point of a crossing plane. The first camera is focused a first horizontal distance beyond the crossing point of the crossing plane and the second camera is focused a second horizontal distance beyond the crossing point of the crossing plane.

    Abstract: Detection of three dimensional obstacles using a system mountable in a host vehicle including a camera connectible to a processor. Multiple image frames are captured in the field of view of the camera. In the image frames, an imaged feature is detected of an object in the environment of the vehicle. The image frames are portioned locally around the imaged feature to produce imaged portions of the image frames including the imaged feature. The image frames are processed to compute a depth map locally around the detected imaged feature in the image portions. Responsive to the depth map, it is determined if the object is an obstacle to the motion of the vehicle.

    Abstract: System and techniques for vehicle environment modeling with a camera are described herein. A device for modeling an environment comprises: a hardware sensor interface to obtain a sequence of unrectified images representative of a road environment, the sequence of unrectified images including a first unrectified image, a previous unrectified image, and a previous-previous unrectified image; and processing circuitry to: provide the first unrectified image, the previous unrectified image, and the previous-previous unrectified image to an artificial neural network (ANN) to produce a three-dimensional structure of a scene; determine a selected homography; and apply the selected homography to the three-dimensional structure of the scene to create a model of the road environment.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for navigating a host vehicle. The system may perform operations comprising receiving, from an image capture device, a plurality of images representative of an environment of the host vehicle; analyzing at least one of the plurality of images to identify a first object in the environment of the vehicle, wherein the first object and a road on which the first object is located are at least partially obscured by a second object in the environment of the vehicle; determining scale change information for the first object based on at least two of the plurality of images; determining, based on the determined scale change information for the first object, a lane position of the first object relative to a lane of the road on which the first object is located; and determining a navigational action for the host vehicle based on the determined lane position.
