Abstract
In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method comprises determining a first value of a coefficient of an edge-determining algorithm in response to a spatial resolution of a first image acquired with an image capture device onboard a vehicle, a spatial resolution of a second image, and a second value of the coefficient in response to which the edge-determining algorithm generated a second edge map corresponding to the second image. The method further comprises determining, with the edge-determining algorithm in response to the coefficient having the first value, at least one edge of at least one object in the first image. The method further comprises generating, in response to the determined at least one edge, a first edge map corresponding to the first image. The method further comprises determining at least one navigation parameter of the vehicle in response to the first and second edge maps.
