METHOD FOR DETECTING FALSE POSITIVES OF AN IMAGE-PROCESSING DEVICE OF A CAMERA

A method detects false positives of an image-processing device of a camera located on-board a vehicle and that delivers data for modelling a marking line. The method includes: determining a first distance from the vehicle to the marking line at a first instant in time, determining a second distance from the vehicle to the marking line at a second instant, computing an initial discontinuity, in which an initial discontinuity equal to the absolute value of the difference between the first distance and the second distance is computed, and detecting a false initial-discontinuity positive, in which the initial discontinuity is compared to a predefined initial low threshold.
