Abstract
A method and system of locating a position of an object with an omnidirectional camera affixed to a vehicle. An electronic control unit receives movement data of the vehicle from a vehicle communication bus. Simultaneously, the electronic control unit receives a plurality of omnidirectional image frames of a stationary object with the omnidirectional camera. Based on the received omnidirectional image frames, the electronic control unit identifies an object of interest in the omnidirectional image frames and tracks the object of interest in the omnidirectional image frames while the vehicle is moving. The electronic control unit determines a change in position of the object of interest in the omnidirectional image frames as the vehicle is moving and determines a distance to the object of interest based on the change of position of the vehicle and the change in position of the object of interest in the omnidirectional image frames.
