Background
Researches show that the frequent occurrence of traffic accidents is mostly caused by that the distances between front and rear vehicles on the same lane are close, or pedestrians appear on the lane, and a driver does not respond timely, so that the traffic accidents are caused. Therefore, the warning when the distance between the vehicles is too close has very important practical significance for reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents.
In the process of highway high-speed driving, the measurement and warning of the distance between vehicles on the same lane are effective prevention modes for preventing and reducing vehicle collision; when low-speed objects appearing on the expressway are found, the high-speed vehicles are warned, so that casualties in traffic accidents can be effectively reduced.
With the progress of science and technology and the continuous innovation of technology, the accuracy and the reliability of the vehicle distance measuring result are continuously improved. According to different information obtaining modes, the vehicle distance measuring method comprises ultrasonic distance measuring, optical distance measuring, infrared distance measuring and the like, and the method can be divided into active distance measuring, passive distance measuring and the like according to the activity or the passivity of a measuring device.
The ultrasonic ranging cannot meet the requirement of the current vehicle on the safe distance due to the reasons of the measured distance, the power consumption and the like. In recent years, optical and infrared measurement modes are gradually developed, but the two modes have low ranging precision, poor multi-target measurement capability and large influence by environmental factors, and accurate measurement cannot be performed in severe environments such as sudden heavy fog, sand dust, heavy rain and the like, so the accuracy, reliability and applicability of the two measurement modes still need to be improved.
Therefore, the prior art has the following problems: the vehicle safety distance measurement is greatly influenced by environmental factors, and has low precision, low reliability and low object resolution.
