Rear View Object Detection based on Camera Sensors

The US American government introduced a law to mandatorily equip passenger vehicles with rear view cameras. Furthermore, US NCAP presented a test for passenger vehicles to brake on pedestrians while back up. These two circumstances lead to main motivation of the development of the Backup Assist(BUA). Nevertheless, more and more passenger cars in general are being equipped with rear view cameras. Rear view system(RVS) allows to deliver a rear view camera system including a braking functionality which is intended to make the driving mission safer and reduce the number of accidents in backup driving situations. RVS also focus on vehicle safety by reducing acceleration of the vehicle gradually in order to avoid jerk and increase the ride comfort.
