METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SENSING THE ENVIRONMENT OF A VEHICLE DRIVING WITH AT LEAST SEMI-AUTOMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029389 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SENSING THE ENVIRONMENT OF A VEHICLE DRIVING WITH AT LEAST SEMI-AUTOMATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes technologies and techniques for sensing the environment of a vehicle that is driving with at least semi-automation. The vehicle's environment is captured using at least one sensor, and the sensor data is evaluated by an evaluation device using at least one evaluation method. The evaluation is done in two resolutions, with the first resolution being lower than the second resolution. The evaluation results are then combined and output.

  • The patent application focuses on sensing the environment of a vehicle with semi-automation.
  • At least one sensor is used to capture the vehicle's environment.
  • An evaluation device evaluates the sensor data using at least one evaluation method.
  • The evaluation is done in two resolutions, with the first resolution being lower than the second resolution.
  • The evaluation results are combined and output.

Potential Applications

  • Autonomous driving systems
  • Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
  • Collision avoidance systems
  • Traffic monitoring and management systems

Problems Solved

  • Enhancing the ability of a vehicle to sense and understand its environment
  • Improving the accuracy and reliability of sensor data evaluation
  • Enabling more effective decision-making for semi-automated vehicles

Benefits

  • Increased safety and efficiency of semi-automated vehicles
  • Improved situational awareness for the vehicle and its occupants
  • Enhanced ability to detect and respond to potential hazards or obstacles in the environment
  • Better integration of semi-automated vehicles into existing transportation systems


Original Abstract Submitted

technologies and techniques for sensing the environment of a vehicle driving with at least semi-automation. the environment of the vehicle is captured via at least one sensor, wherein sensor data captured by the at least one sensor are evaluated by an evaluation device via at least one evaluation method in a first resolution. the captured sensor data in at least one defined focus region are evaluated by the evaluation device via the at least one evaluation method in a second resolution, the first resolution being lower than the second resolution. the evaluation results are combined and output. aspects also relate to a device for sensing the environment of a vehicle driving with at least semi-automation.
