==DETECTING AT LEAST ONE EMERGENCY VEHICLE USING A PERCEPTION ALGORITHM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240282116 titled 'DETECTING AT LEAST ONE EMERGENCY VEHICLE USING A PERCEPTION ALGORITHM

The patent application describes a method for training a perception algorithm to detect emergency vehicles using audio datasets and image data.

* Audio datasets are received from two microphones and spectrograms are generated.
* Interaural difference maps are generated based on the spectrograms to localize audio sources.
* A CRNN is applied to the input data containing spectrograms and interaural difference maps to identify audio sources in a spatial grid.
* Image data from a camera is used to predict a bounding box for the emergency vehicle using a further ANN.
* Network parameters are adapted based on the output data and audio source localization data.

Potential Applications:
- Emergency vehicle detection systems for vehicles and smart cities.
- Enhanced safety features for autonomous vehicles.
- Surveillance systems for emergency response teams.

Problems Solved:
- Improving the accuracy and efficiency of emergency vehicle detection.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

for training a perception algorithm to detect an emergency vehicle, respective audio datasets are received from two microphones and respective spectrograms are generated. at least one interaural difference map is generated based on the spectrograms, audio source localization data is generated, which specifies a number of audio sources in respective grid cells of a spatial grid, by applying a crnn to first input data containing the spectrograms and the least one interaural difference map. an image is received from a camera and output data comprising a bounding box for the emergency vehicle is predicted by applying at least one further ann to second input data containing the image and the spectrograms. network parameters are adapted depending on the output data and the audio source localization data.
