This paper presents an implementation of a 3D reconstruction algorithm for the detection of static obstacles from a single rear view parking camera. To guarantee efficiency and accuracy of the solution, we adopted a feature-based approach in which interest points are tracked to estimate the vehicle's motion and multiview triangulation is performed to reconstruct the scene. A full implementation of the algorithm has been achieved on a parallel SIMD array processor unit embedded in a smart automotive camera system. Current in-vehicle beta trials suggest that system's performance meets industrial requirements for real-world use in back-up camera systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
