Abstract

This paper presents a distance perception model based around a moving camera, in the context of driving a self-guidance vehicle. Aligned images, by escape points, and acquired by a moving camera, present objects at different positions depending on its relative distance to camera. The objects that are farthest from the observer(the camera) gradually lose their alignment as the distance diminishes. With the current setup, this lack of alignment is noticeable up to a distance of 10 meters. In the paper, the results of real imagery tests are presented and discussed.
