Abstract

A system for on-vehicle camera alignment monitoring includes an on-vehicle camera in communication with a controller. The controller monitors vehicle operating parameters and camera signal parameters, and captures an image file from the on-vehicle camera. A first level analysis of the image file, the vehicle operating parameters, and the camera signal parameters is executed to detect dynamic conditions and image feature parameters that affect camera alignment. An error with one of the dynamic conditions or the image feature parameters that affects the camera alignment is detected. A second level analysis of the camera signal parameters is executed to identify a root cause indicating one of the dynamic conditions or the image feature parameters that affects the camera alignment based upon the error. A camera alignment-related fault is detected based upon the root cause, and vehicle operation is controlled based upon the camera alignment-related fault.
