    Abstract: A method including determining a direct distance between the vehicle position and a position of the roadside unit and a planar distance between the vehicle position in a horizontal plane containing the vehicle position, and a projection of the position of the roadside unit onto the plane. The method further includes calculating a height of a roadside unit relative to the vehicle position using the direct distance and the planar distance determined for the vehicle position. The method also includes setting a value indicative of the height of the roadside unit relative to the vehicle position as a height correction value and storing the height correction value of the vehicle position in association with information indicative of the vehicle position as the height correction function.

    Abstract: A computer implemented method for object detection includes the following steps carried out by computer hardware components: acquiring an image; determining a pixel of the image as a base pixel; determining coordinates of a plurality of sets of target pixels, each set of target pixels including a plurality of pixels in a respective pre-determined relationship to the base pixel; for each of the sets of target pixels, determining information representing values of the pixels in the respective set of target pixels; and determining whether a pre-determined object is shown in the image based on the determined information.

    Abstract: An apparatus for determining a speed of a vehicle along a road by processing a first image and a second image of the road captured by a camera on the vehicle and comprising respective road marker images of a road marker, the apparatus arranged to: determine a location of the road marker in the first image; predict a location of the road marker in the second image based on the determined location, an estimate of the vehicle speed, and a time period between capture of the images; detect the road marker in a portion of the second image at the predicted location; estimate a distance moved by the vehicle during the time period based on the determined location, and a location of the detected road marker in the portion of the second image; and calculate the speed based on the estimated distance and the time period.

    Abstract: Disclosed are aspects of methods performed by an onboard unit of a vehicle and aspects of apparatuses that include an onboard unit of a vehicle to perform the methods. An example of the method includes, for each of a plurality of vehicle positions on a road, determining a direct distance between the vehicle position and a position of a roadside unit. The method also includes determining, based on the determined direct distance, a planar distance between the vehicle position in a horizontal plane containing the vehicle position and a projection of a position of the roadside unit onto a plane of the road. The determining of the planar distance is performed based on a height of the roadside unit relative to a ground level of the road.

    Abstract: One aspect relates to a computer-implemented method for determining a skeleton of point cloud data in an automotive system for monitoring the environment of a vehicle. In order to determine the skeleton, a method of determining a central point of a point cloud data is performed multiple times, each time using different values for one or more starting parameters. The method may yield different central points depending on the selected values for the one or more starting parameters. The resulting plurality of central points is interpreted as the skeleton of the point cloud data.
