Vehicle movement path system and method for vehicle
First Claim
1. A vehicle movement path system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a camera input configured to receive at least one photographic image from a camera installed in the vehicle;
at least one module configured;
to analyze the at least one photographic image to identify a line marked on a road,to compute an angle between the line and an axis of the vehicle,to compute a distance between the line and a point associated with the vehicle, andto generate, using the computed angle and the computed distance, a movement path along which to move the vehicle such that the vehicle proceeds toward a position at which the vehicle is spaced apart from the line by a predetermined target distance and further such that the vehicle turns toward an orientation at which the axis of the vehicle and the line form a predetermined target angle therebetween; and
a movement path output port configured to output the movement path to the vehicle such that the vehicle automatically steers itself using the movement path or provides a driver with guidance to move the vehicle along the movement path.

Abstract
Disclosed is a vehicle movement path system and method for a vehicle. The vehicle movement path system includes: a camera input configured to receive at least one photographic image from a camera installed in the vehicle; at least one module configured to analyze the photographic image to identify a line marked on a road, compute an angle between the line and an axis of the vehicle, compute a distance between the line and a point associated with the vehicle, and generate, using the computed angle and the computed distance, a movement path along which to move the vehicle; and a movement path output configured to output the movement path to the vehicle such that the vehicle automatically steers itself using the movement path or provides a driver with guidance to move the vehicle along the movement path.
