CONTROL APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18456812 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The control apparatus described in the patent application includes:
- An acceleration detection unit that detects acceleration.
- A processor and memory storing instructions that, when executed, determine a motion vector from video data within a vehicle obtained by an image capturing unit fixed in the vehicle.
- The apparatus determines whether there is a correlation between the change of a determined motion vector in a preset period and the detected acceleration in the same period for each position in the video data.
- Based on the results of the determination for each position, the apparatus identifies an out-of-vehicle region where an object outside of the vehicle appears in the video data.
---
- Potential Applications
- Advanced driver assistance systems
- Autonomous vehicles
- Surveillance systems for vehicles
- Problems Solved
- Identifying objects outside of the vehicle in video data
- Correlating motion vectors with detected acceleration for improved analysis
- Benefits
- Enhanced safety for drivers and pedestrians
- Improved situational awareness for vehicle operators
- Potential for reducing accidents and collisions
Original Abstract Submitted
A control apparatus includes an acceleration detection unit that detects an acceleration, and a processor and memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the control apparatus to determine a motion vector from video data within a vehicle obtained by an image capturing unit fixed in the vehicle, determine whether there is a correlation between an amount of change of a determined motion vector in a preset period and the detected acceleration in the preset period for each position in the video data, and determine, based on a result of the determination for each position, as an out-of-vehicle region, a region in which an object outside of the vehicle within the video data appears.
