Image synthesis for blind corners from uncalibrated multiple vehicle cameras
Kazuki Ichikawa, Jun Sato · 2008
Because of the increasing number of car accidents, it is very important to provide safety systems for car drivers. In this paper, we propose a method for synthesizing virtual blind corner images by using multiple vehicle cameras, so that drivers can see the other side of the blind corner. The existing methods require position sensors such as GPS and calibrated cameras. In this paper we propose a method for generating virtual views of blind corners from uncalibrated cameras mounted on multiple vehicles. The proposed method is tested by using real vehicles. The accuracy and the stability of the proposed method is also evaluated.
