APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CALCULATING AND DISPLAYING THE HEIGHT OF AN OBJECT DETECTED IN AN IMAGE ON A DISPLAY
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
memory;
an image acquisition unit that receives one or more images from a camera;
a sensor value acquisition unit that receives a distance value from a distance measuring sensor;
an image analysis unit that processes the one ore more images into one or more processed images;
an object detection unit that detects one or more objects in the one or more processed images;
an object position measurement unit that measures one or more positions of the one or more objects and determines an object distance to each of the one or more objects and an object length of each of the one or more objects in the one or more processed images based on the distance value;
an object height calculation unit that calculates an object height of each of the one or more objects based on the determined object distance and the determined object length; and
a display controller that communicates the determined object height to a display.

Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for calculating the actual height of an object and displaying the calculated height on an image, including: an object detection unit that detects an object in an image of the vehicle'"'"'s surroundings acquired by a camera disposed on a vehicle; an object position measurement unit that measures a position of the object in the image and measures an object distance and an object length of the object in the image based on a distance value acquired by a distance measuring sensor disposed on the vehicle; an object height calculation unit that calculates an object height using the object distance and the object length of the object displayed in the image; and a display controller controlling display of the calculated the height of the object on a display.

7. A method, comprising:
-
receiving an image from a camera disposed on a vehicle; receiving a distance value from a distance measuring sensor; processing the image into a processed image; detecting an object in the processed image; measuring a position of the object in the processed image to determine an object distance and an object length based on the distance value, the object distance corresponding to a distance between the vehicle and the object and the object length corresponding to a distance between a first end and a second end of the object; calculating an object height based on the object distance and the object length; and displaying the calculated object height on a display. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a processor or controller, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
program instructions that receive an image from a camera disposed on a vehicle; program instructions that receive a distance value from a distance measuring sensor; program instructions that process the image into a processed image; program instructions that detect an object in the processed image; program instructions that measure a position of the object in the processed image to determine an object distance and an object length based on the distance value, the object distance corresponding to a distance between the vehicle and the object and the object length corresponding to a distance between a first end and a second end of the object; program instructions that calculate an object height based on the object distance and the object length; and program instructions that display the calculated object height on a display.
