Vision-based wet road surface condition detection using tire rearward splash
A method for determining a wet surface condition of a road. An image of a road surface is captured by an image capture device of the host vehicle. The image capture device is mounted on a side of the host vehicle and captures an image in a downward direction. A region of interest rearward of the wheel of the host vehicle is identified in the captured image by a processor. The region of interest is representative of where rearward splash as generated by the wheel occurs. A determination is made whether precipitation is present in the region of interest by applying a filter to the image. A wet road surface signal is generated in response to the identification of precipitation in the region of interest.
