Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for predicting collisions between moving objects are inadequate, especially when objects change direction or move in complex areas, as they assume continuous movement patterns without considering potential changes in relative position, leading to inaccurate collision predictions and high camera frame rate requirements.

Innovation Solution

A method that classifies the expired change in relative position of one object and defines the future area of relative movement based on object properties and probabilities, using a database to reduce the number of required camera frames and handle movements with lower frame rates, allowing for efficient collision prediction without assuming continuous movement patterns.

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of expired changes in relative position and defines future areas of relative movement in advance, allowing collision prediction without requiring continuous high-frame-rate capture of actual movements. This preliminary action enables accurate collision prediction while reducing camera frame rate requirements.

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts the prediction model by classifying expired changes in relative position and defining future areas of relative movement based on object properties and probabilities. This dynamic approach maintains calculation simplicity while improving reliability when objects change direction, as the system can adjust to different movement patterns without complex recalculations.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by classifying different types of relative position changes and assigning different future area definitions based on object properties. This allows the system to handle various movement scenarios (straight line, curve, direction change) with appropriate parameters while maintaining computational efficiency.

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential features needed for collision prediction by classifying expired changes in relative position and defining future areas of relative movement. This extraction approach achieves accurate collision detection without requiring full image analysis, thereby reducing processing time and computational resource requirements.

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from tracking individual trajectories to defining future areas of relative movement, adding a spatial dimension to the prediction. This area-based approach enables collision prediction in intersection regions by considering all possible future positions within the defined area, not just a single predicted trajectory.
