Abstract

The problem of determining the distance to cars in the side blind zone using a side view camera is considered. An analytical solution to the problem of reconstructing the three-dimensional coordinates of a “pursuing” vehicle is presented by detecting the point of contact of the car with the road in the image. In addition, methods for obtaining and clarifying the orientation of the camera are considered. A neural network was trained to detect the point of contact. The results of an experimental verification of the developed algorithms confirming the efficiency of the proposed method are presented.
