Abstract
A method and device for vehicle camera autocalibration during vehicle travel for driver assistance systems and automated driving. A vehicle camera images a region of vehicle surroundings through a window. The method includes: providing a vehicle camera projection model including multiple extrinsic parameters, at least one intrinsic vehicle camera parameter and at least one window parameter; capturing a sequence of camera images during vehicle cornering; determining a curve type during the cornering; estimating the parameters using pixels in the sequence of images of stationary objects in the vehicle surroundings, the current vehicle movement, and the determined curve type, by minimizing an error function indicating the deviation between pixels which correspond to stationary objects in the vehicle surroundings and which are established from the sequence of images and pixels of the stationary objects which are projected by the projection model; and outputting at least one of the estimated parameters.
