Abstract
A method for calculating a distance between a vehicle camera and an object, the method may include: (a) obtaining an image that was acquired by the vehicle camera of a vehicle; the image captures the horizon, the object, and road lane boundaries; (b) determining an initial row-location horizon estimate and a row-location contact point estimate, the contact point is between the object and a road on which the vehicle is positioned; (c) determining a vehicle camera roll angle correction that once applied will cause the lanes boundaries to be parallel to each other in the real world; (d) calculating a new row-location horizon estimate, wherein the calculating comprises updating the row-location horizon estimate based on the vehicle camera roll angle correction; and (e) calculating the distance between the vehicle camera based on a difference between the new row-location horizon estimate and the row-location contact point estimate.
