Researchers have developed novel methods for estimating vehicle distance using monocular cameras by leveraging the standardized typography of license plates. These approaches bypass the need for expensive sensors like LiDAR or radar, and avoid the data-intensive training required by deep learning models. By analyzing character height, spacing, and other plate features, the systems can accurately determine distance, velocity, and time-to-collision, offering a cost-effective solution for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
