Patent abstract
A method for estimating a vanishing point in a roadway using a current image generated by a camera on a vehicle includes defining an exemplary vanishing point for each of a plurality of sample images, identifying features within each of the plurality of sample images, monitoring the current image generated by the camera, identifying features within the current image, matching the current image to at least one of the sample images based upon the identified features within the current image and the identified features within the plurality of sample images, determining a vanishing point based upon the matching and the exemplary vanishing points for each of the matched sample images, and utilizing the vanishing point to navigate the vehicle.
