Abstract
A method includes obtaining an image of a scene using an imaging sensor on a vehicle, where the image captures at least one of: one or more objects around the vehicle or one or more lane marking lines. The method also includes identifying extrinsic calibration parameters associated with the imaging sensor. The method further includes, for a specified pixel in the image, converting a position of the specified pixel within a pixel coordinate system associated with the image to a corresponding position within a road coordinate system based on the extrinsic calibration parameters. The specified pixel represents a point in the image associated with at least one of the one or more objects or the one or more lane marking lines. In addition, the method includes identifying a distance to the point in the image based on the corresponding position of the specified pixel within the road coordinate system.
