OBJECTION DETECTION SYSTEM DEFINING A DYNAMIC REGION OF INTEREST - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18180351 titled 'OBJECTION DETECTION SYSTEM DEFINING A DYNAMIC REGION OF INTEREST
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an objection detection system for a vehicle that uses range sensors to detect objects in the vehicle's surroundings and determine if they are within a specified region of interest.
- Range sensors emit signals and receive reflected signals from the environment.
- Controllers analyze the reflected signals to determine the position of detected objects.
- The system compares the position of detected objects with a dynamic region of interest (ROI).
- If an object is outside the ROI, it is disregarded for scene building purposes.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilization of range sensors for object detection in a vehicle.
- Dynamic region of interest (ROI) for comparison of detected object positions.
- Ability to disregard objects outside the ROI for scene building.
Potential Applications:
- Autonomous vehicles
- Collision avoidance systems
- Parking assistance systems
Problems Solved:
- Improving object detection accuracy in a vehicle's surroundings.
- Enhancing scene building capabilities by filtering out irrelevant objects.
Benefits:
- Increased safety for vehicle occupants and pedestrians.
- Improved efficiency in object detection and scene analysis.
- Enhanced overall performance of the vehicle's objection detection system.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in the automotive industry for the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles, leading to safer and more efficient transportation solutions.
Questions about Objection Detection System: 1. How does the dynamic region of interest (ROI) improve object detection accuracy? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this objection detection system in different types of vehicles?
Original Abstract Submitted
An objection detection system for a vehicle includes one or more range sensors and one or more controllers in communication with the one or more range sensors. The one or more controllers execute instructions to instruct the one or more range sensors to emit a signal. The one or more range sensors receive a reflected signal from the environment surrounding the vehicle. The one or more controllers determine a position of the detected object based on the reflected signal and compare the position of the detected object with a dynamic region of interest (ROI). The one or more controllers determine the position of the detected object is outside of the dynamic ROI. In response to determining the position of the detected object is outside the dynamic ROI, the one or more controllers disregard the detected object for purposes of scene building.
