1. A computerized road surface deviation detection method, the method performed by a driver assistance system mounted in a vehicle, wherein the driver assistance system comprises a camera operatively connectible to a processor, the method comprising:

  • capturing multiple images via the camera, the multiple images comprising a first image of the road surface captured at a first time and a second image of the road surface captured at a second time, the second time being subsequent to the first time,determining, based on at least the first image and the second image, a first estimate of a plane normal of the road and a second estimate of the plane normal of the road,creating a model of the road surface based on at least the first estimate of the plane normal and the second estimate of the plane normal,using the model of the road surface to determine a residual motion along a projected path of the vehicle,computing a vertical deviation of the road surface based on the residual motion, andtransmitting vertical deviation data to a vehicle control system.
