Automative surround view aided parking system and surveillance

Automotive Surround View is a project that add vision system to a car and using it allow to have complete view of the surrounding of the vehicle. The system consist of receiving four video streams from the cameras and then use this data to create a full navigable 3d view of the surrounding of the car, this is helpful for aiding parking and for surveillance purpose. In this thesis is described the entire design of the embedded system, form the mechanical analysis to the computer vision algorithms. In this project are used smart camera module called RVS2.0 made by AST Robotics Group in ST Microelectronics and a platform called Orly to compute data. The result of this project is an embedded system that can assist the driver of the car when the rear view is needed or register the top view to have a complete visual control of the surrounding of the vehicle.
