The present invention provides a method for detecting stationary objects by vehicles moving at high speed. The method is applied to a vehicle, which includes an on-board computer, a depth image capture unit, a laser image capture unit, and an optical image capture unit. When the vehicle moves at a first speed, the depth image capture unit, the laser image capture unit, and the optical image capture unit captures a depth image, a laser image, and an optical image. The on-board computer merges the depth image, the laser image, and the optical image according to give a merged image. Then on-board computer analyzes and judges the stationary object in the merged image according to an image optical flow method and generating stationary object information. The on-board computer displays alarm messages and the stationary object on the display unit of the vehicle according to the stationary object information.

Method for detecting stationary objects by vehicles moving at high speed

The present invention provides a method of alerting to stationary objects for vehicle. When a vehicle moves at a first speed, an optical scanning device, an infrared image extraction device, and an image extraction device extract a first optical scanning image, a first infrared image, and a first ambient image of the ambiance on one side of the vehicle. According to the fusion algorithm and the optical flow method, the first obstacle information of the first obstacle in the first image will be given. According to the location information of the first obstacle, the vehicle computer judges and generates an alert message when the relative distance is smaller than a distance threshold value and the obstacle volume is greater than a volume threshold value.

Method of alerting to stationary objects for vehicle

The present application is to provide a system for sensing and responding to a lateral blind spot of a mobile carrier and method thereof, which is applied for a mobile carrier during moving to a parking place. Firstly, a light scan unit and a depth image capture unit are used to scan a plurality of surrounding objects and capture a plurality of object depth images of the surrounding objects, and then a plurality of screened images are obtained according to a moving route of the mobile carrier for further obtaining correspondingly a plurality of forecasted lines to generate corresponded notice message for noting driver or ADAS. Due to the objects corresponding to the screened images and located on a blind position which is at one side of the mobile carrier, the notice message provides the driver preventing from the ignored danger by ignoring the blind position.
