SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DRIVER ASSISTANCE FEATURES OF A VEHICLE BASED ON IMAGES OF A ROAD SURFACE CONDITION

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for controlling driver assistance features of a vehicle based on images of a vehicle trajectory condition. In one form, the present disclosure provides a system comprising a memory, an imaging device positioned in a vehicle that is configured to generate images of a surface in front of the vehicle, and at least one processor configured to determine a vehicle trajectory condition based on images generated by the imaging device; when the vehicle trajectory condition is determined to be a first condition based on the images, operate a driver assistance system of the vehicle with a first set of feature cascades; and when the vehicle trajectory condition is determined to be a second condition based on the images, operate the driver assistance system of the vehicle with a second set of feature cascades.
