Abstract
This chapter describes the technologies to provide a driver with the information of dynamic surroundings around the vehicle that he/she is driving to enhance his/her situation awareness. We propose capturing surroundings of a vehicle by an omnidirectional vision system mounted on the top of a vehicle and display the dynamic global view on the windshield. The mathematical model of panoramic imaging is introduced in this chapter. We then exploit panoramic inverse perspective mapping to build the mapping relationship between each image of its corresponding camera and a panoramic image. Finally, we combine the panoramic images with electronic maps which cannot only reduce driver’s (cognitive) load, but also detect and display surrounding objects in real time.
