Apparatus and Method for Controlling Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240123997 titled 'Apparatus and Method for Controlling Vehicle

Simplified Explanation

The embodiment apparatus described in the abstract is a system for controlling a vehicle using a camera and a controller. The system generates a detection line in a road image captured by the camera, identifies a corner point where the detection line meets a line in the road image, and controls the vehicle's speed or steering based on the curvature of the road.

  • Camera and controller system for vehicle control
  • Generates detection line in road image
  • Identifies corner point where detection line meets road line
  • Controls vehicle speed or steering based on road curvature

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and navigation systems to improve vehicle control and safety.

Problems Solved

1. Improved vehicle control in varying road conditions 2. Enhanced safety by adjusting speed and steering based on road curvature

Benefits

1. Increased road safety 2. Enhanced driving experience 3. Improved efficiency in vehicle control

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing this technology for commercial vehicles, taxis, and ride-sharing services could improve driver performance and reduce accidents.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing systems for lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous driving technologies.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle sudden changes in road conditions?

The system may need to be equipped with sensors to detect sudden changes in road conditions and adjust vehicle control accordingly.

What is the impact of inclement weather on the accuracy of the system?

Inclement weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow may affect the camera's visibility and the system's ability to accurately detect road features. Additional research and development may be needed to address these challenges.


Original Abstract Submitted

an embodiment apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes a camera and a controller configured to generate a detection line having a specified width based on a traveling direction of the vehicle within a road image obtained by the camera, to generate a corner point at a point where the detection line meets a line identified in the road image, and to control a speed of the vehicle by estimating a curvature of a road based on the corner point or to control steering based on an angle between the detection line and the line.
