VEHICLE DETECTING DEVICE, LIGHT DISTRIBUTION CONTROLLING DEVICE, AND VEHICLE DETECTING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18750408 titled 'VEHICLE DETECTING DEVICE, LIGHT DISTRIBUTION CONTROLLING DEVICE, AND VEHICLE DETECTING METHOD
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a device that detects vehicles in front using an imaging device within a vehicle. It adjusts the imaging region of the device to compensate for shifts caused by changes in the vehicle's tilt angle.
- The device detects front vehicles using an imaging device in the vehicle.
- It modifies the imaging region based on changes in the vehicle's tilt angle.
- This adjustment helps mitigate shifts in the imaging region caused by the vehicle's movement.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Detection of front vehicles using an imaging device.
- Adjustment of imaging region based on vehicle tilt angle changes.
- Mitigation of shifts in the imaging region caused by vehicle movement.
Potential Applications:
The technology can be used in:
- Advanced driver assistance systems.
- Autonomous vehicles.
- Traffic monitoring systems.
Problems Solved:
- Ensures accurate detection of front vehicles.
- Compensates for shifts in the imaging region.
- Improves overall safety on the road.
Benefits:
- Enhanced vehicle safety.
- Improved accuracy in detecting front vehicles.
- Better performance of driver assistance systems.
Commercial Applications:
Title: Vehicle Detection Device for Enhanced Safety on the Road
This technology can be applied in:
- Automotive industry for developing advanced driver assistance systems.
- Transportation sector for improving traffic monitoring capabilities.
- Research and development for autonomous vehicle technology.
Questions about Vehicle Detection Technology:
1. How does the device adjust the imaging region based on the vehicle's tilt angle? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology on road safety and traffic management?
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle detecting device performs a process of detecting a front vehicle using an image that is based on an imaging device provided in a vehicle, and in accordance with a change in an angle of tilt of the vehicle's right-left axis, modifies an imaging region of the imaging device so as to mitigate a shift in the imaging region caused by the change.
