A scene comprehensive safety evaluation method based on binocular camera

Intelligent vehicle is an inevitable trend in urban transportation development. Whether for driver assistance systems or advanced driverless systems, safety issues are one of the cores of these systems. This paper proposes a scene safety evaluation method based on binocular camera. By proposing a comprehensive safety evaluation model, the uncertainty of the scene can be represented with a single value, which can be expressed as a quantitative evaluation of the safety of intended functionality (SOTIF). It provides real-time safety monitoring and protection for the driving process of drivers and occupants by the human–computer interaction. Based on the calculation results, different monitoring methods can be adopted for different levels of autonomous driving to further improve the safety of autonomous driving. •Scene comprehensive safety evaluation method based on binocular camera was proposed.•It is a quantitative evaluation of the safety of intended functionality.•It provides real-time safety monitoring and protection for the driving process.
