Method and system enabling a vehicle to discard irrelevant road marking information

Abstract

A method performed by a marker correlation receiving system on board a first vehicle to enable the vehicle to discard irrelevant road marking information. The vehicle is adapted to present the extracted marking information within the vehicle and / or to adjust vehicle functions based on the marking information captured from the detectable road marking information by the onboard image capture device. The system captures detected marker information from road markings and receives a most likely supplemental information estimate based on detected supplemental information captured by at least a second vehicle from the supplemental marker information assigned to the road marking, a confidence degree of correctness associated with the most likely information estimate The value exceeds the minimum threshold. The system also determines whether the most likely information estimate involves the first vehicle. The system refrains from presenting the extracted signature information and / or adjusting vehicle functions if it is determined that the first vehicle is not involved. It also relates to the system and a vehicle comprising the system. It also relates to a marker correlation evaluation system, a method performed therein and a server and / or an automotive cloud comprising the evaluation system.

Description

Technical field[0001]The present invention relates to a method for allowing the vehicle in-vehicle to allow the vehicle to discard the label correlation receiving system and within the same.Background technique[0002]To support the motor vehicle driver to perform its tasks in road traffic, it is generally known to be known, such as small passenger cars - may be adapted to presen an extracted mark information and / or based on the image capture apparatus through the vehicle vehicle. The detection mark information captured on the vehicle-detectable road mark is adjusted to adjust one or more vehicle functions. Thus, if the road labeled refers to, for example, a speed limit mark-, such as conveniently rendering the interpretation of the display, the detection limit value and / or possibly considering the detection speed can be adjusted in the display. However, the road mark also assigns a supplemental mark, which is typically represented by, for example, the small rectangular marker bel...

Problems solved by technology

However, while US 2013 / 0049988 determines whether to warn the driver of a vehicle of the presence of traffic signs in the vehicle's driving environment, challenges remain in determining whether the sign information relates to the vehicle

For example, such an image capture device on board a vehicle as described above - represented for example by a camera - is usually under several environmental conditions such as heavy rain or snow, fog or direct sunlight etc. and / or if road markings are at least partially covered by dirt, for example and / or have detection difficulties when positioned at the edge of the camera's field of view

The detection difficulties are particularly challenging when referring to supplementary markings and / or supplementary marking information, thus leading to the possibility that a vehicle may incorrectly present and / or apply road marking information that is not actually relevant to the vehicle
