TARGETLESS VEHICULAR CAMERA MISALIGNMENT CORRECTION METHOD

A method of correcting misalignment of a vehicular camera includes disposing a camera at a vehicle at a vehicle assembly plant and calibrating the camera at the vehicle while the vehicle is at the vehicle assembly plant. Frames of image data are captured with the camera as the vehicle is driven along an arbitrary path along a road, and the captured frames of image data are processed by a processor. As the vehicle is driven along the arbitrary path, at least one feature present in the frames of captured image data is determined and tracked to determine misalignment of the camera. The determined camera misalignment is corrected (i) without use of a target in the field of view of the camera and (ii) without processing of frames of image data captured by the camera that are representative of a target in the field of view of the camera.
