Description

TITLE OF INVENTION:A DEVICE FOR DETECTION IN A VEHICLEFIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present subject matter is related, in general to a vehicle, and more particularly, but not exclusively to a device for detection in a vehicle.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Vehicle users experience a lot of challenges while commuting, particularly when it comes to parking and traffic maneuvering. One of the major obstacles faced by vehicle users is the presence of blind spots, areas around the vehicle that are not visible through traditional mirrors, creating potential risks during maneuvers like parking, reversing, or changing lanes. In crowded parking lots or busy streets, these blind spots can lead to accidents or collisions, causing inconvenience, discomfort, and safety concerns for both drivers and pedestrians.

[0003] Conventionally, the challenges of blind spots and limited visibility are addressed using traditional mirrors, parking assist systems, cameras, and detection sensors. Some known arts in the field disclose the usage of cameras mounted on the vehicle to detect obstacles. Cameras, along with surround-view systems, provide a visual of the area around the vehicle, helping vehicle users avoid obstacles while reversing or parking. However, cameras are significantly impacted by environmental factors such as low light, fog, heavy rain, or glare from headlights. In such conditions, the camera’s ability to produce clear, usable images diminishes, reducing its effectiveness at night or in inclement weather.

[0004] Cameras are also prone to physical damage due to various environmental factors and are vulnerable to scratches, cracks, or debris, which can obstruct the lens and impair their ability to capture clear images. These limitations indicate that cameras alone cannot provide a comprehensive safety solution, as they are unable to effectively detect obstacles under non-ideal visibility conditions.

[0005] Some other known arts in the field utilize radar systems mounted on the vehicle to detect obstacles. Radar systems offer a significant advantage in low-visibility situations. Unlike cameras, radar uses radio waves to detect objects and measure their distance and speed, making it effective in fog, rain, snow, or darkness.

[0006] However, although radar can identify the presence of an object, radar systems typically cannot discern the size, shape, or nature of the object, which means smaller objects or those requiring precise identification, like pedestrians, may not be clearly identified. As a result, usage of radar systems could lead to situations where obstacles are detected, but the vehicle cannot make an informed decision based on the object's specifics, potentially compromising safety in complex driving scenarios.

[0007] Lastly, despite the advantages offered by cameras and radar systems, there are other significant challenges when it comes to mounting these technologies on vehicles, particularly on two-wheelers. For two-wheeled vehicles like motorcycles or scooters, space is at a premium, making it difficult to install cameras and radar sensors without interfering with the vehicle’s functionality or aesthetics.

[0008] Mounting devices such as cameras and radar systems on the vehicle exterior make them vulnerable to damage due to their exposure to environmental elements such as rain, dirt, and debris, which can reduce their effectiveness. Even slight misalignment caused by impacts or road vibrations can lead to inaccuracies in the data they provide, diminishing their reliability. Furthermore, the positioning of these devices is crucial for accurate detection, and improper placement can lead to limited or distorted views, which could create more safety hazards rather than solving the problem. This makes the integration of such systems on two-wheelers particularly complex, demanding careful consideration of their durability, accuracy, and effectiveness in everyday use. Therefore, the current methods to address these issues offer only partial solutions and often fail to provide a comprehensive view of the vehicle's surroundings.

[0009] Accordingly, a need or requirement still exists for a device for detection in a vehicle that ensures accuracy, reliability, durability, customer comfort, convenience, and safety.

[0010] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.SUMMARY

[0052] The combination of image and radar data is essential for robust obstacle detection and collision prediction, where cameras provide detailed visual information and object classification, while radar excels at measuring distance, speed, and motion under varying environmental conditions. Radar can accurately detect objects in darkness, fog, rain, or snow, where camera performance might degrade. The fusion of these data streams enables a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle’s surroundings, reducing false positives and enhancing overall system reliability. Therefore, the present subject matter integrates both radar and camera technologies, addressing the limitations of each while providing the driver with comprehensive, real-time visibility in all conditions. This integrated approach ensures urban mobility, safety, reliability, and enhances driver experience in complex driving environments.
