Abstract:
A circuit arrangement having a master microcontroller operably connected to a sensor for detecting a parameter. The sensor and microcontroller are connected to a power source where a microcontroller power line is connected between the power source and the master microcontroller. A power communications line is connected between the power source, master microcontroller, and sensor, wherein the power communications line carries power to the sensor as well as communication signals between the sensor and the master microcontroller.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for object detection and ranging within a vehicles rearward field of interest which includes an algorithm to translate images provided by an imaging device. An image device provides images to a processor which divides the images into groups of rows of pixels. The rows are processed by the algorithm which includes assigning each pixel in the rows to an object. The translation of the image from outside of the vehicle is provided to the vehicle operator and includes the tracking of location and dimensions of multiple objects within the viewing range.
Abstract:
The present invention is a system for providing multiple driver assistance services which includes a vehicle having at least one door, and at least one imaging device operable for detecting the presence of one or more objects in proximity to the door for providing all distances between a vehicle and one or more objects in proximity to the vehicle. The imaging device is operable for displaying an image representing the various objects.
