Abstract
An enhanced object detecting method and apparatus is presented. A plurality of successive frames is captured by a monocular camera and the image data of the captured frames are transformed with respect to a predetermined point of view. For instance, the images may be transformed in order to obtain a top-down view. Particular features such as lines are extracted from the transformed image data, and corresponding features of successive frames are matched. An angular change of corresponding features is determined and boundaries of an object are identified based on the angular change of the features.
