COLLISION AWARENESS USING CAMERAS MOUNTED ON A VEHICLE

Abstract:

In some examples, a collision awareness system includes two cameras mounted on portions of a vehicle and processing circuitry configured to determine a position of an object based on an image captured by a first camera when the object is within a field of view of the first camera. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine the position of the object based on an image captured by a second camera when the object is within a field of view of the second camera. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine whether a distance between a future position of the vehicle and a current or future position of the object is less than a threshold level. In response to determine that the distance is less than the threshold level, the processing circuitry can generate an alert.
