VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18380788 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
A vehicle control device uses image data from a camera to recognize the border of a vehicle's traveling area and can alert or control the vehicle if it is predicted to depart from a reference line or has already departed. It also identifies registered three-dimensional objects to make it easier to recognize the border in specific areas.
- The device can detect when a vehicle is about to depart from its intended path and take action to prevent it.
- It utilizes image data to identify registered objects and enhance border recognition in certain areas.
- The technology aims to improve vehicle safety and control based on visual data analysis.
Key Features and Innovation
- Recognition of vehicle border based on image data.
- Prediction and prevention of vehicle departure from reference line.
- Identification of registered three-dimensional objects for enhanced border recognition.
- Differentiation between easing area and normal area for border recognition.

Questions about Vehicle Control Device
How does the device recognize the border of a vehicle's traveling area?
The device uses image data acquired from a camera to analyze the vehicle's forward view and identify the border based on visual cues.
What actions can the device perform when a vehicle is predicted to depart from a reference line?
The device can trigger a departure alarm or activate departure control mechanisms to prevent the vehicle from deviating from its intended path.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle control device recognizes a border of a traveling area of a vehicle based on image data acquired when a camera photographs a forward view of the vehicle, and performs at least one of a departure alarm and a departure control when the vehicle is predicted to depart from a reference line set based on the border or when the vehicle has departed from the border. Furthermore, the vehicle control device determines whether a particular registered three-dimensional object that is previously registered exists, based on the image data, and makes it easier to recognize the border in a predetermined easing area set based on the position of the registered three-dimensional object on the image data, than in a normal area on the image data other than the easing area, when it is determined that the registered three-dimensional object exists.
