CALIBRATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMOTIVE CAMERA SYSTEM, AND METHOD AND ECU FOR DETERMINING ANGULAR MISALIGNMENTS OF AUTOMOTIVE CAMERA SYSTEM

摘要

A method of automotive camera system calibration is disclosed in the present invention. At least two targets are placed within the field of view of each camera included in the system. Each camera captures the targets. Then, the vehicle is moved, and another image is captured. The images are used to derive the camera orientation parameters. Based on these parameters, misalignment of the cameras can be compensated by the image processing unit.
