Development of Blind-Spot Monitoring and Assist Technology for Lane Changes Using All-Around Monitoring System

The authors have developed a surrounding area monitoring system comprising two or more vehicle-mounted cameras and a system for early approaching object detection using optical flow technology. The new system assists the driver by monitoring the blind spot during lane changes. In particular, this system distinguishes a detection object from the background and reduces the possibility of false background detection, thereby reliably helping the driver visually detect other vehicles running alongside or approaching from the side rear. Experimental results confirm that this system has practicable detection performance with a low false detection rate. The new system can be built into conventional all-around monitoring systems at low cost.
