Abstract:
Computerized methods are performable by a driver assistance system while the host vehicle is moving. The driver assistance system includes a camera connectible to a processor. First and second image frames are captured from the field of view of the camera. Corresponding image points of the road are tracked from the first image frame to the second image frame. Image motion between the corresponding image points of the road is processed to detect a hazard in the road. The corresponding image points are determined to be of a moving shadow cast on the road to avoid a false positive detection of a hazard in the road or the corresponding image points are determined not to be of a moving shadow cast on the road to verify detection of a hazard in the road.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 3 , further comprising:\n hypothesizing that the image motion is due to a hypothetical moving shadow cast from the moving vehicle; determining relative speed between the host vehicle to the moving vehicle; calculating image motion of points on the road for the relative speed between the host vehicle and the moving vehicle; measuring image motion of the hypothetical moving shadow; comparing the measured image motion of the hypothetical moving shadow to the calculated image motion for the relative speed between the host vehicle and the moving vehicle; and confirming the hypothesis that the moving image points are of a moving shadow cast from the moving vehicle if the measured image motion matches the calculated image motion.
