Fusion of Images in Enhanced Obstacle Detection
First Claim
1. A vehicle warning system, comprising:
- a first camera mounted on the vehicle at a first longitudinal position along the length of the vehicle, which acquires consecutively in real time a plurality of first camera image frames;
a second camera mounted on the vehicle at a second longitudinal position along the length of the vehicle, which acquires second camera image frames; and
a processor configured to use information in both first and second camera image frames to determine whether there is a danger of a collision between the vehicle and an object shown in both the first and second camera images,wherein the first and second longitudinal positions are at different positions along the length of the vehicle.

Abstract
A vehicle warning system that includes: a first camera mounted on the vehicle at a first longitudinal position along the length of the vehicle, which acquires consecutively in real time a plurality of first camera image frames; a second camera mounted on the vehicle at a second longitudinal position along the length of the vehicle, which acquires second camera image frames; and a processor configured to use information in both first and second camera image frames to determine whether there is a danger of a collision between the vehicle and an object shown in both the first and second camera images. The first and second longitudinal positions may be at different positions along the length of the vehicle.

15. A method of detecting a danger of a collision of a vehicle, comprising:
-
acquiring by a first camera mounted on the vehicle at a first longitudinal position along the length of the vehicle, a plurality of first camera image frames, consecutively in real time; acquiring by a second camera mounted on the vehicle at a second longitudinal position along the length of the vehicle, different from the first longitudinal position, second camera image frames; and determining, by a processor coupled to the first and second cameras, using information in both the first and second camera image frames, whether there is a danger of a collision between the vehicle and an object shown in both the first and second camera images. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
