ADVANCED DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEM, METHOD OF CALIBRATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF DETECTING OBJECT IN THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18051320 titled 'ADVANCED DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEM, METHOD OF CALIBRATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF DETECTING OBJECT IN THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an advanced driver assist system (ADAS) that uses a video sequence captured by a vehicle to detect objects on the road. The system includes a processing circuit and memory to execute instructions.

  • The ADAS obtains a video sequence from the vehicle, which includes multiple frames captured while driving.
  • Each frame in the video sequence contains a stereo image with a first viewpoint image and a second viewpoint image.
  • The system determines depth information in the stereo image by analyzing reflected signals received while driving.
  • The stereo image and depth information are fused together to generate fused information.
  • The system then uses the fused information to detect at least one object present in the stereo image.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles to enhance their perception capabilities and improve safety.
  • It can also be applied in advanced driver assistance systems to provide real-time object detection and collision avoidance.
  • The system can be integrated into surveillance systems to detect and track objects in video footage.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of accurately detecting objects on the road by combining stereo images and depth information.
  • It addresses the challenge of processing large amounts of video data in real-time to identify objects.
  • The system overcomes the limitations of traditional object detection methods by using fused information from stereo images and depth information.

Benefits

  • The ADAS provides enhanced situational awareness for drivers and autonomous vehicles, improving road safety.
  • It enables real-time object detection and tracking, allowing for timely responses and potential collision avoidance.
  • The system's ability to fuse stereo images and depth information enhances the accuracy and reliability of object detection.


Original Abstract Submitted

An advanced driver assist system (ADAS) includes a processing circuit and a memory storing instructions executable by the processing circuit. The processing circuit executes the instructions to cause the ADAS to: obtain, from a vehicle, a video sequence including a plurality of frames captured while driving the vehicle, where each of the frames corresponds to a stereo image including a first viewpoint image and a second viewpoint image; determine depth information in the stereo image based on reflected signals received while driving the vehicle; fuse the stereo image and the depth information to generated fused information, and detect at least one object included in the stereo image based on the fused information.
