Abstract

In various embodiments, methods, systems, and vehicles are provided that include obtaining first camera images from a first camera onboard a first vehicle; generating, via one or more computer processors, a first situation awareness graph with respect to objects near the first vehicle, using the first camera images; obtaining second camera images from a second camera of a second device that is inproximity to the first vehicle; generating, via one or more computer processors, a second situation awareness graph with the respect to the objects, using the second camera images; and generating, viaone or more computer processor, a global situation awareness graph with respect to the objects, by merging the first situation awareness graph with the second situation awareness graph, using respective first and second weights for the first and second situation awareness graphs.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical field relates generally to vehicles and, more particularly, to methods and systems for generating situation awareness maps using cameras from different vehicles. Background technique [0002] Many vehicles include various systems for improving vehicle operation, including the use of cameras to detect objects and other environments near the vehicle. In some cases, however, a vehicle's camera may be obscured or obstructed by other obstacles in the roadway, and / or one or more other conditions may exist that may make it difficult for an individual vehicle's camera to determine situational awareness for that vehicle . [0003] Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide improved methods and systems to facilitate situational awareness of vehicles having cameras. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description of the invention and the appended cl...
