Detecting objects obstructing a driver's view of a road
Abstract:
A system and method for a motorized land vehicle that detects objects obstructing a driver's view of an active road, includes an inertial measurement unit-enabled global position system (GPS/IMU) subsystem for obtaining global position system (GPS) position and heading data of a land vehicle operated by the driver as the vehicle travels along a road, a street map subsystem for obtaining street map data of the GPS position of the vehicle using the GPS position and heading data as the vehicle travels along the road, and a three-dimensional (3D) object detector subsystem for detecting objects ahead of the vehicle and determining a 3D position and 3D size data of each of the detected objects ahead of the vehicle. The street map subsystem merges the street map data, the GPS position and heading data of the vehicle and the 3D position data and 3D size data of the detected objects, to create real-time two-dimensional (2D) top-view map representation of a traffic scene ahead of the vehicle. The street map subsystems finds active roads ahead of the vehicle in the traffic scene, and finds each active road segment of the active roads ahead of the vehicle that is obstructed by one of the detected objects. A driver alert subsystem notifies a driver of the vehicle of each of the active road segments that is obstructed by one of the detected objects.
