FOCUS-OF-EXPANSION LOCATING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240179407 titled 'FOCUS-OF-EXPANSION LOCATING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The focus-of-expansion locating device in this patent application includes a loaded state determination unit and a focus-of-expansion locating unit. The determination unit checks if the vehicle's loaded state has changed using in-vehicle sensors, while the locating unit identifies the focus of expansion in the captured image from the vehicle's camera and adjusts it if the loaded state changes.
- The loaded state determination unit assesses changes in the vehicle's loaded state.
- The focus-of-expansion locating unit identifies and adjusts the focus of expansion in the captured image.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems, and traffic monitoring systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in accurately locating the focus of expansion in a captured image, even when the vehicle's loaded state changes.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in identifying the focus of expansion - Enhanced performance in various vehicle systems - Better adaptability to changing conditions
Potential Commercial Applications
"Focus-of-Expansion Locating Device for Autonomous Vehicles and Traffic Monitoring Systems"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to image processing in vehicles and focus of expansion detection systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the overall efficiency of autonomous vehicles?
This technology can enhance the efficiency of autonomous vehicles by ensuring accurate focus of expansion detection, leading to better decision-making capabilities.
What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in vehicles?
The cost implications of implementing this technology may vary depending on the complexity of the system and the scale of deployment. However, the benefits in terms of improved performance and safety could outweigh the initial costs.
Original Abstract Submitted
the focus-of-expansion locating device includes a loaded state determination unit and a focus-of-expansion locating unit. the loaded state determination unit determines whether the loaded state of the vehicle has changed based on the detection result from the in-vehicle sensor that detects the loaded state of the vehicle. the focus-of-expansion locating unit locates a focus of expansion on the captured image based on the captured image of the camera of the vehicle. the focus-of-expansion locating unit re-locates the focus of expansion when the loaded state has changed.
