Typography-Based Monocular Distance Estimation for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems

arXiv:2607.00319v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Estimating the distance to a leading vehicle is a basic input to forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and automated emergency braking. Production systems obtain this distance from radar, laser scanners, or stereo camera pairs, which add cost, power draw, and packaging constraints. This paper asks whether a single ordinary camera can recover the same distance by using a target that is standardized in size and present on every road veh...
