Lane detection systems and methods
First Claim
1. A lane detection system of a vehicle, comprising:
- a first line module configured to;
identify locations of a lane line included in a first image captured using a first camera capturing images outside of and beside the vehicle, wherein the first camera is mounted to an outside rear view mirror that is movable about a fixed pivot point;
based on the locations of the lane line included in the first image, determine a first linear equation corresponding to the lane line; and
determine a distance to the lane line based on the first linear equation;
a second line module configured to;
identify locations of the lane line included in a second image captured using a second camera capturing images outside of and in front of the vehicle; and
based on the locations of the lane line included in the second image, determine a second linear equation corresponding to the lane line;
an angle module configured to, based on the first and second linear equations, determine an angle between first and second lines corresponding to the first and second linear equations, respectively; and
a correction module configured to determine a corrected distance to the lane line based on the distance and the angle.

Abstract
A lane detection method includes: identifying locations of a lane line included in a first image captured using a first camera capturing images beside the vehicle, the first camera being mounted to a mirror that is movable; based on the locations of the lane line, determining a first linear equation corresponding to the lane line; determining a distance to the lane line based on the first linear equation; identifying locations of the lane line included in a second image captured using a second camera capturing images in front of the vehicle; based on the locations of the lane line, determining a second linear equation corresponding to the lane line; based on the first and second linear equations, determining an angle between first and second lines corresponding to the first and second linear equations, respectively; and determining a corrected distance to the lane line based on the distance and the angle.
