A method for adjusting vehicle panorama system, which comprises: a calibration pattern is disposed around a vehicle, and at least one patterned feature and a plurality of cameras are disposed on the vehicle; capture the calibration pattern and patterned feature to obtain an original image; capture the patterned feature after a period of time to obtain a correction image; compares the correction image and original image and corrects the panorama images by recombining the images shoot by the plurality of cameras according to a comparison result.

Method for adjusting vehicle panorama system

An image-based vehicle maneuvering assistant method and system are provided in the present invention, in which images captured by a single image sensing device is processed to determine the changes with respect time by a controller having capability of image processing and identification and distance estimation in image space for providing a complete assisting image-information while the carrier is maneuvering. By means of the presented method of the presented invention, the system is capable of generating track of the carrier, view point transformation, and identifying the characteristic object in the image so as to performing the distance estimation. The present invention may be utilized and applied in different kinds of carrier type to solve the problem of guiding of carrier maneuvering, and assist the carrier lane changing, parking assistance and blind spot detection.

Image-based vehicle maneuvering assistant method and system

A method and system for assisting driver are provided in the present disclosure, in which images captured by a single image sensing device is processed by a controller having capability of image processing and identification and distance estimation in image space for providing a complete assisting image-information while the carrier is moving forward or backward. By means of the method and system of the presented disclosure, it can identify the image characteristic to be a basis for lane departure assistance/alarm while the carrier is moving forwardly as well as generate assisting track and change view angle or issue an alarm according to the distance estimation while the carrier is moving backwardly. The present disclosure may be utilized and applied in different kinds of carrier type to solve the problem of guiding of carrier maneuvering, and assist carrier lane changing, parking assistance and blind spot detection.

Method and system for assisting driver

A system and method applicable to a vehicle for detecting a surrounding environment are provided. The system and method include installing primary and secondary display units in a vehicle; installing a plurality of detectors of various types around the vehicle; detecting obstacles around the vehicle using the plurality of different detectors; generating and outputting first detector data to be received by a primary control module; generating second detector data by integrating data to generate and transmit a primary warning message including vehicle positional information relative to the obstacle and a secondary warning message comprising obstacle positional information to the primary and secondary display units respectively for display. The system and method enable accurate detection of an obstacle via the warning messages and improved driving safety, using detectors with functions different from and complementary to one another.

System and method for detecting surrounding environment

A parking guidance device storing the information of length and width of a car is disclosed, which comprises: a central controller, a distance detector electrically connecting to said central controller for detecting the distances from obstacles, an image detector electrically connecting to said central controller for detecting the shape of a parking space, a two-axis rotating detector electrically connecting to said central controller for detecting the direction of said car, a human-machine operation interface electrically connecting to said central controller for inputting signals, and a car controller area network bus interface electrically connecting to said central controller for controlling wheel, engine and braking system, wherein said central controller integrates the information of distances and shape of said parking space, compares the same to the information of length and width of said car to gain a parking track, and makes the moving track of said car correspond with said parking track by controlling wheel, engine and braking system through the car controller area network bus interface.

Parking guidance device and method thereof

An automobile navigation system with portable telematics device is disclosed, which comprises: a first telematics device, being arranged fixedly inside an automobile; a detachable second telematics device, capable of being coupled to the first telematics device by a specific control data bus; wherein, the resources of software/hardware of the second telematics device are accessible to the first telematics device while the second telematics device is connected to the first telematics device; and the second telematics device is capable of working independently and thus being used by a user as a personal data assistant while the second telematics device is detached from the first telematics device.

Portable telematics device
