MODEL-BASED METHOD FOR 360 DEGREE SURROUND VIEW USING CAMERAS AND RADARS MOUNTED AROUND A VEHICLE

摘要

A method of stitching panoramic optical images around a vehicle having, receiving a plurality of optical images from a plurality of image sensors mounted on the vehicle of a plurality of objects surrounding the vehicle, overlapping optical images of the plurality of objects surrounding the vehicle, identifying seams between the plurality of objects surrounding the vehicle within the plurality of optical images, receiving a plurality of radar images from a plurality of radar sensors mounted on the vehicle indicating at least one direction and at least one distance of at least one of the plurality objects surrounding the vehicle, linking the plurality of optical images of the plurality of objects surrounding the its vehicle to the plurality of radar images and stitching the plurality of optical images based on the plurality of radar images.
