Abstract
A system and method to perform dynamic bandwidth adjustment among two or more vehicle sensors includes receiving input. The input includes data from each of the two or more vehicle sensors. The two or more vehicle sensors include a camera, an audio detector, a radar system, or a lidar system. The method also includes determining a bandwidth at which each of the two or more vehicle sensors should provide the data, and providing a control signal to each of the two or more vehicle sensors to adjust the bandwidth based on the determining.
Claims18
A method of performing dynamic bandwidth adjustment among two or more vehicle sensors, the method comprising:
- receiving input at a processor, the input including data from each of the two or more vehicle sensors, wherein the two or more vehicle sensors include a camera, an audio detector, a radar system, or a lidar system;
- determining, using the processor, a bandwidth at which each of the two or more vehicle sensors should provide the data;
- and
- providing, by the processor, a control signal to each of the two or more vehicle sensors to adjust the bandwidth based on the determining, wherein the determining the bandwidth includes decreasing the bandwidth from a default bandwidth for one or more of the two or more vehicle sensors that fail to detect an object that is detected by another one or more of the two or more vehicle sensors.
A system to perform dynamic bandwidth adjustment, the system comprising:
- two or more vehicle sensors, wherein the two or more vehicle sensors include a camera, an audio detector, a radar system, or a lidar system;
- a controller configured to obtain input, the input including data from each of the two or more vehicle sensors, determine a bandwidth at which each of the two or more vehicle sensors should provide the data, and provide a control signal to each of the two or more vehicle sensors to respectively adjust the bandwidth for each of the two or more vehicle sensors, wherein the controller decreases the bandwidth from a default bandwidth for one or more of the two or more vehicle sensors that fail to detect an object that is detected by another one or more of the two or more vehicle sensors.
