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 described in the patent application is a system that generates virtual traffic lines based on the reliability of detected traffic lines.

  • The apparatus 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 controller generates a virtual traffic line based on the traffic line with the highest reliability among the traffic lines detected in the previous frame.
  • The reliability of the traffic line for each frame is stored in a storage.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles to assist in lane detection and navigation.
  • It can be implemented in traffic monitoring systems to improve accuracy in detecting and tracking traffic lines.
  • The virtual traffic lines can be used in virtual reality simulations for training purposes.

Problems Solved

  • The system solves the problem of unreliable traffic line detection by generating virtual traffic lines based on the reliability of detected lines.
  • It addresses the issue of missing or inaccurate traffic line detection in real-time scenarios.

Benefits

  • The use of virtual traffic lines improves the accuracy and reliability of lane detection systems.
  • It enhances the performance of autonomous vehicles by providing a reliable reference for navigation.
  • The technology can reduce the risk of accidents caused by incorrect lane detection.


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.
