OBJECT RECOGNITION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18463156 titled 'OBJECT RECOGNITION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for acquiring positional information of objects using an object sensor and tracking the objects based on this information.
- The system includes a positional information acquiring unit that uses two different thresholds to acquire observation information as positional information.
- A first tracking processing unit and a second tracking processing unit are provided to track the objects based on the acquired observation information.
- One of the tracking processing units has higher anti-clutter characteristics than the other.
- A state identifying unit is used to identify the state of the object based on the tracking process results.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Object tracking and identification in surveillance systems
- Autonomous vehicles for tracking and avoiding obstacles
- Robotics for object detection and tracking in industrial settings
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved accuracy in acquiring positional information of objects
- Enhanced tracking process with higher anti-clutter characteristics
- Efficient identification of the state of the object based on tracking results
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased reliability and precision in object tracking
- Better performance in cluttered environments
- Improved decision-making capabilities based on object state identification
Original Abstract Submitted
A positional information acquiring unit that acquires positional information in accordance with an object detection signal of the object sensor includes a first acquiring unit that acquires first observation information as positional information using a first threshold, and a second acquiring unit that acquires second observation information as positional information using a second threshold different from the first threshold. The object tracking unit is provided with a first tracking processing unit that executes a tracking process in accordance with the first observation information and a second tracking processing unit that executes the tracking process in accordance with the second observation information. Either one of the first tracking processing unit or the second tracking processing unit has anti-clutter characteristics higher than that of the other one. A state identifying unit identifies the state of the object based on a result of the tracking process executed by the tracking processing unit.
