In this paper, we address an obstacle extraction method for driving support system. The stereovision system is one of most suit sensor to recognize details of environment. On the other hand, a disparity image obtained by stereovision system has quite a lot of information. Therefore an efficient algorithm to analyze obtained disparity image is strongly demanded. If the road surface is extracted, obstacles can be easily extracted by evaluating whether one object touch on a road or not. In this paper, we propose a novel method to estimate three-dimensional road surface position by using virtual disparity image. Moreover, an obstacle extraction method is expressed. ©2007 IEEE., 金沢大学理工研究域機械工学系}, pages = {456--461}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, title = {An obstacle extraction method using virtual disparity image}, year = {2007} }
