Abstract: Provided is an information processing device for performing fusion processing of a plurality of sensors for recognizing the outside world.
An information processing device includes a control unit that controls an amount of information to be used for object detection in a first information sensed by a first sensor on the basis of second information sensed by a second sensor. The first sensor is a camera, and the second sensor is a radar. Then, the control unit determines the target area from the captured image on the basis of information on at least one of a position, a speed, or a size of an object detected by the radar.

Abstract: Detection points may be first observed over multiple radar frames. The observed detection points, which form the tracklets, can be used to form a segmentation of the present radar frame by associating the tracklats to at least one object-track, which represents at least one object based on at least one feature-parameter. Segmentation results from tracking of detection points over multiple radar frames (viz. utilizing tracking information) which is used for associating detection points to objects (segmentation-by-tracking). A two-level tracking approach can be implemented, in which for a present radar frame, (new) detection points are associated to tracklets, which may be seen as a first level, and then the tracklets are associated to object-tracks, which may be seen as a second level.

Abstract: A vehicular forward-sensing system includes a radar sensor and a forward viewing image sensor disposed within a windshield electronics module that is removably installed within an interior cabin at a windshield of a vehicle. A control is responsive to outputs of the radar sensor and of the image sensor. The image sensor captures image data for an automatic headlamp control system of the vehicle and for a lane departure warning system of the vehicle. The image sensor views and the radar sensor senses an object present in the path of forward travel of the vehicle. The control determines that the object is an object of interest based at least in part on the image sensor viewing the object present in the path of forward travel of the vehicle and the radar sensor sensing the object present in the path of forward travel of the vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed active reflector apparatus and methods that inhibit self-induced oscillation. One illustrative apparatus embodiment includes an amplifier and an adjustable phase shifter. The amplifier amplifies a receive signal to generate a transmit signal, the transmit signal causing interference with the receive signal. The adjustable phase shifter modifies the phase of the transmit signal relative to that of the receive signal to inhibit oscillation. A controller may periodically test a range of settings for the adjustable phase shifter to identify undesirable phase shifts prone to self-induced oscillation, and may maintain the phase shift setting at a value that inhibits oscillation.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle calculate a distance from a following vehicle and a relative speed of the following vehicle, if the following vehicle is detected on the rear side of a host vehicle based on detection information received from a detection module detecting an object around the host vehicle, determine a probability of a potential collision of the following vehicle with the host vehicle based on the distance from the following vehicle and the relative speed of the following vehicle, and accelerate or decelerate a traveling speed of the host vehicle, or adjust brake torque of the host vehicle, if the potential collision of the following vehicle with the host vehicle is predicted. When a probability of a potential collision with the following vehicle is predicted, injuries to a driver and occupants can be prevented or reduced.

Abstract: A method for separating large and small targets from noise in radar IF signals, according to which a receiver receives, echo signals that are reflected from targets of different size (such as walls or ground), in response to the transmission of chirp FMCW radar signals, modulated (e.g., using Linear Frequency Modulation) in a predetermined modulation speed for a predetermined duration. The echo signals are down-converted by mixing them with the transmitted signal, to obtain received Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal, which is then sampled both in phase (I-channel) and in quadrature phase (Q-channel). The received IF signal passes a Fourier transform, to obtain power spectral components that belong to a relevant frequency domain, associated with an echo signal reflected from a real target, along with corresponding power spectral components that belong to an irrelevant, opposite frequency domain. The noise distribution and level in the relevant frequency domain is calculated by estimating the noise level in the irrelevant frequency domain and targets represented by a set of consequent relevant frequencies are detected by comparing the power spectral component at each relevant frequency to the calculated noise level and identifying power spectral components with likelihood, which is above a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A measuring device (200) is a device disposed in a mobile body, and includes a measurement unit (202) that scans an object by emitting electromagnetic waves. The measurement unit (202) is controlled by a measurement unit control device (203) including a control unit (204). The control unit (204) sets a scanning range of the measurement unit (202) using information on a position that is a predetermined distance ahead. Specifically, the control unit (204) determines a position that is a predetermined distance ahead of the current position of the mobile body (240), on a predicted course of the mobile body (240). Further, the control unit (204) uses information on the position that is a predetermined distance ahead to set the scanning range of the measurement unit (202).
