Design of a panorama parking system based on DM6437

Parking cars in a crowded parking lot is nontrivial for many drivers. Car cameras have been used extensively to assist parking. However, due to the limitation of the Angle of View (AoV), dead zone still exists. In this paper, we give the design of a panorama parking system based on DM6437. Our system captures videos around a car through four wide-angle cameras mounted at different sides of the car. Then, it leverages image mosaic techniques to provide a real-time panorama video of the car. With the help of our system, drivers can observe the environment around the car as far as three meters from a top view. Experimental results show that our system can satisfy the requirements for practical use and provide strong assurance for parking cars safely.
