What is Bird’s Eye View Software?

Bird’s Eye View (BEV) is a software project by RidgeRun that generates a seamless aerial view of a scene from a series of cameras. BEV is designed to be portable and run on a variety of platforms. It uses hardware accelerators on board to generate the scene in real-time.

Bird’s Eye View Software Process

Summary of the Birds Eye View calibration process

The Bird's Eye View software transforms images from multiple standard perspective cameras into a unified top-down view using perspective transformation algorithms. The process begins with raw camera feeds captured by onboard sensors, which are then processed through RidgeRun’s image transformation pipeline running on embedded hardware.

A configuration file in JSON format defines the layout and calibration parameters, ensuring accurate alignment. The result is a seamless, real-time bird’s-eye visualization, ideal for applications in robotics, automotive surround view systems, and embedded AI.
