VIRTUAL TRAFFIC LINE GENERATION APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17841908 titled 'VIRTUAL TRAFFIC LINE GENERATION APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The virtual traffic line generation apparatus is a system that generates virtual traffic lines based on the reliability of detected traffic lines.

  • The system includes a controller that determines the reliability of a traffic line detected for each frame.
  • When a traffic line is not detected in a frame, the system generates a virtual traffic line based on the traffic line with the highest reliability from the previous frame.
  • The reliability of the traffic line for each frame is stored in a storage.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Traffic management systems: The virtual traffic line generation apparatus can be used in traffic management systems to generate virtual traffic lines when actual traffic lines are not detected.
  • Autonomous vehicles: This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles to generate virtual traffic lines for navigation purposes when actual traffic lines are not visible.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of reliable traffic line detection: The system addresses the issue of unreliable traffic line detection by generating virtual traffic lines based on the reliability of previously detected traffic lines.
  • Continuity in traffic line information: The system ensures continuity in providing traffic line information by generating virtual traffic lines when actual traffic lines are not detected.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy in traffic line detection: By considering the reliability of detected traffic lines, the system can generate more accurate virtual traffic lines.
  • Enhanced navigation capabilities: The use of virtual traffic lines can improve the navigation capabilities of autonomous vehicles in situations where actual traffic lines are not visible.


Original Abstract Submitted

A virtual traffic line generation apparatus and a method thereof are provided. The virtual traffic line generation apparatus includes a controller that determines reliability of a traffic line detected for each frame and generates a virtual traffic line based on a traffic line with the highest reliability among traffic lines detected in a previous frame when the traffic line is not detected and a storage storing the reliability of the traffic line for each frame.
