Abstract
A vehicle configured to operate in an autonomous mode may engage in a reverse-parallax analysis that includes a vehicle system detecting an object, capturing via a camera located at a first location a first image of the detected object, retrieving location data specifying (i) a location of a target object, (ii) the first location, and (iii) a direction of the camera, and based on the location data and the position of the detected object in the first image, predicting where in a second image captured from a second location the detected object would appear if the detected object is the target object.
