A Calibration Method for the Surround-View Parking Assistant System

Surround view parking assistant system can use a surrounding 360 degree top-view image to inform the driver. In addition to helping reduce the parking pressure, assisting the driver in reversing, but also to avoid some security incidents, improve the safety of parking. In this paper we focus on the real-time requirements of actual application in embedded surround view parking assistant system. A calibration method is introduced in this paper. The calibration tool is designed in general-purpose computer end, and the data mapping tables can be generated by the tool. In the embedded hardware end, the real-time panoramic video image can be generated by use of the mapping tables. By use of the method introduced in this paper, the hardware of the assistant parking system can meet the real-time requirements of the actual application.
