SINGLE-CAMERA SYSTEM FOR MEASURING A VEHICLE DISTANCE AND MEASUREMENT METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A single-camera system for measuring a vehicle distance, comprising a variable-magnification single-camera module (2), an operational control module (3) and an infrared emission module (4), characterized in that said operational control module (3) is respectively connected with the variable-magnification single-camera module (2) and the infrared emission module (4);
- said variable-magnification single-camera module (2) is used for performing real-time video recording on a front scene, capturing the position information of a highlight speckle in a video image from a video and capturing the number of pixels occupied by the width height of a vehicle license plate(6);
said operational control module (3) is used for obtaining the position information of the highlight speckle outputted by the variable-magnification single-camera module (2) and the number of the pixels occupied by the width/height of the vehicle license plate (6), and computing a vehicle distance according to a geometrical relationship and an averaging algorithm; and
said infrared emission module (4) is used for receiving a control command of the operational control module (3) to enable and emit an infrared light beam and close the infrared light beam.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a single-camera system for measuring a vehicle distance and measurement method thereof. The single-camera system for measuring the vehicle distance comprises a variable-magnification single-camera module, an operational control module and an infrared emission module, wherein the operational control module is respectively connected with the variable-magnification single-camera module and the infrared emission module. The variable-magnification single-camera module is used for performing real-time video recording on a front scene, capturing the position information of a highlight speckle in a video image from a video and capturing the number of pixels occupied by the width/height of a vehicle license plate. The operational control module is used for obtaining the position information of the highlight speckle outputted by the variable-magnification single-camera module and the number of the pixels occupied by the width/height of the vehicle license plate, and computing a vehicle distance according to a geometrical relationship and an averaging algorithm. The present invention combines the video processing technology with the infrared control technology of a camera, enhances the measuring reliability of short distance of a vehicle, facilitates the usage, reduces the cost and can be widely applied to an active safety assisting system of the vehicle
