ANOMALY DETECTION DEVICE, ANOMALY DETECTION METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DETECTING ANOMALY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240265709 titled 'ANOMALY DETECTION DEVICE, ANOMALY DETECTION METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DETECTING ANOMALY
The abstract of the patent application describes an anomaly detection device that can identify abnormal conditions in which a vehicle is unable to travel normally on its lane by analyzing the condition of the road surface.
- The device includes a processor that identifies a path region in an image representing the surroundings of a vehicle.
- The path region represents the host vehicle lane on which the vehicle is traveling.
- A feature extractor is used to extract a feature indicating the condition of the road surface regarding the path region from the image.
- The device can detect abnormal conditions when the extracted feature is outside a normal range, indicating a problem with the road surface that may affect the vehicle's ability to travel normally.
Potential Applications: - Automotive safety systems - Autonomous driving technology - Road maintenance and monitoring
Problems Solved: - Early detection of road surface abnormalities - Improving vehicle safety and performance - Enhancing driver assistance systems
Benefits: - Increased road safety - Prevention of accidents - Improved efficiency in transportation systems

Original Abstract Submitted
an anomaly detection device includes a processor configured to identify a path region in an image representing surroundings of a vehicle, the path region representing a host vehicle lane on which the vehicle is traveling, extract a feature indicating the condition of a road surface regarding the path region from the image by inputting the path region in the image into a feature extractor that has been trained to extract the feature, and detect an abnormal condition in which the vehicle is unable to travel normally on the host vehicle lane, when the feature is outside a normal range that is a tolerable range in which the vehicle is able to travel normally.
