DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240249532 titled 'DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE
The driving assistance device described in the patent application includes a processor that acquires image data from an in-vehicle camera, detects road signs from the image data, and compares them to a database of pre-registered existing designs of road signs. If the detected road sign is different from the existing designs, the device presents a candidate road sign to the user based on the comparison.
- Processor acquires image data from in-vehicle camera
- Detects road signs from the image data
- Compares detected road signs to pre-registered existing designs
- Presents candidate road sign to user if detected sign is different from existing designs
Potential Applications: - Enhancing road safety by providing accurate and real-time information about road signs to drivers - Improving navigation systems by ensuring correct interpretation of road signs - Assisting drivers in unfamiliar areas by identifying and displaying relevant road signs
Problems Solved: - Misinterpretation of road signs leading to potential accidents - Confusion for drivers in unfamiliar locations due to unfamiliar road signs - Lack of real-time information about road signs for drivers
Benefits: - Increased road safety for drivers and pedestrians - Enhanced navigation experience for drivers - Improved overall driving experience by providing accurate and timely information
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Driving Assistance System for Accurate Road Sign Detection" This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in vehicles. It can also be integrated into navigation systems to enhance the accuracy of road sign detection and interpretation, providing a competitive edge in the market.
Questions about Road Sign Detection: 1. How does the device differentiate between various road signs? The device uses image processing algorithms to analyze the shape, color, and symbols on the road signs to determine their identity. 2. Can the device detect road signs in different weather conditions? Yes, the device is designed to work in various weather conditions by adjusting its image processing algorithms to account for factors like rain, fog, or snow.
Original Abstract Submitted
the driving assistance device includes a processor, and the processor acquires image data captured by an in-vehicle camera provided in a vehicle, detects road signs from the image data, and detects road signs from a plurality of pre-registered existing designs of road signs. if it is determined that the road sign is different from a plurality of existing designs, the corresponding candidate road sign is presented to the user based on the road sign and the existing design.
