Abstract

Systems and methods for validating following distance detection models are discussed. A LIDAR unit and an image capture device are installed at a vehicle. LIDAR data from the LIDAR unit is used to identify a lead vehicle and for determination of a true following distance to the lead vehicle. An image-based following distance detection model is applied on image data captured by the image capture device. Following distance as determined by the image-based following distance model is compared to the true distance from the LIDAR data, to assess validity of the image-based following distance model.
