Embodiment Construction

[0019] Embodiments of the present invention provide the ability to process information from camera-based detectors in an efficient manner. Information from at least one other type of detector is used to select a portion of the camera output and object detection is based on determining objectness of that selected portion.

[0020] figure 1 A vehicle 100 including a camera-based detector device 102 is schematically shown. This example includes a camera 104 and a processor 106 . The camera 104 has a field of view 108 within which the camera 104 can provide information about the environment near the vehicle 100 or within its path. Processor 106 is configured to use information output from camera 104 to determine whether one or more objects are in an environment corresponding to field of view 108 . In other words, processor 106 is configured to determine whether an object is within camera field of view 108.

[0021] In an example embodiment, processor 106 includes at least one ...

Abstract

An illustrative example object detection system includes a camera (104) having a field of view. The camera (104) provides an output comprising information regarding potential objects within the fieldof view. A processor (106) is configured to select a portion (134) of the camera output based on information from at least one other type of detector (110) that indicates a potential object in the selected portion (134). The processor determines an objectness of the selected portion (134) based on information in the camera output regarding the selected portion (134).

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 62 / 393,311 filed September 12, 2016, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to processing information available from a camera to improve aspects of camera information analysis by using information from at least one other type of detector to locate, identify, or track objects. Background technique [0004] Innovations in electronics and technology have made it possible to incorporate various advanced features into motor vehicles. Various sensing technologies have been developed for detecting objects or monitoring the surrounding environment near or on the path of the vehicle. Such systems are used for example in park assist, lane departure detection and cruise control adjustment features. [0005] More recently, autonomous vehicle features have allow...
