Binocular Vision Measurement of Distance Based on Vehicle Logo Location

Abstract:

A measuring system of vehicle distance is proposed on the basis of binocular vision using location information of the vehicle logo. The spatial location of the target vehicle can be obtained by the pixel coordinates in the image plane due to the logo is sited at the central axis of the vehicle. The camera calibration algorithm is accomplished by conversion relation matrix between the world coordinate system and the image coordinate. And then the binocular logo image pairs are matched. Finally, the distance of the target vehicle is calculated. The simulation experiments have been done and the results show that the proposed method of distance measurement has better performance with rapid processing and higher accuracy.
