Method for Determining a Drivable Area - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18366529 titled 'Method for Determining a Drivable Area

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a computer-based method for determining a drivable area in front of a vehicle.

  • The method involves monitoring a specific area in front of the vehicle using multiple sensors.
  • The monitored area is divided into smaller sections using a computer system.
  • Each section is then classified as either a drivable area, non-drivable area, or an unknown area.
  • The classification is based on data received from the sensors, which is processed and fused together by the computer system.


Original Abstract Submitted

In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed at a computer implemented method for determining a drivable area in front of a host vehicle. According to the method, a region of interest is monitored in front of the host vehicle by at least two sensors of a detection system of the host vehicle. The region of interest is divided into a plurality of areas via a computer system of the host vehicle, and each area of the plurality of areas is classified as drivable area, non-drivable area or unknown area via the computer system based on fused data received by the at least two sensors.
