Object recognition system for a vehicle

Abstract

System (100) for object detection for a vehicle (101), comprising a LIDAR module (10). The LIDAR module (10) comprises a light source (11) configured to emit light pulses, an optical matrix (12) configured to direct the emitted light pulses in accordance with a first scanning pattern (13) to illuminate a first field of view (14) of the LIDAR module (10) at a first scanning rate, and a receiver (15) configured to detect the emitted light pulses scattered by one or more distant objects in order to acquire a first image (16) using the first scanning pattern (13). The system (100) further comprises a camera module (20) which, by means of a second scanning pattern (21), captures a second image (22) of a second field of view (23) at a second scanning speed, wherein the second field of view (23) overlaps at least partially with the first field of view (14).The system (100) further comprises a controller (30) which is coupled to the camera module (20) and the LIDAR module (10) via signal technology, wherein the controller (30) is configured to adapt the first sampling pattern (13) to the second sampling pattern (21) or the second sampling pattern (21) to the first sampling pattern (13) in order to synchronize the first sampling pattern (13) and the second sampling pattern (21) in time.
