Abstract

An automotive sensor integration module including a plurality of sensors which differ in at least one of a sensing period or an output data format, and a signal processing unit, which simultaneously outputs, as sensing data, pieces of detection data respectively output from the plurality of sensors on the basis of the sensing period of any one of the plurality of sensors, determines whether each region of an outer cover corresponding to a location of each of the plurality of sensors is contaminated on the basis of the pieces of detection data, and outputs a determination result as contamination data.

Claims11

Dependent claims

An automotive sensor integration module comprising:

a circuit board;
a plurality of sensors that are provided on the circuit board and differing from each other in at least one of a sensing period or an output data format;
an outer cover coupled to a front surface of the automotive sensor integration module and covering the circuit board and the plurality of sensors;
a signal processor configured to determine whether each region of the outer cover corresponding to a location of each of the plurality of sensors is contaminated on the basis of pieces of detection data outputted from each of the plurality of sensors;
and
a cleaning device configured to eject water toward a region of the outer cover that is contaminated on the basis of the determination,
wherein the signal processor increases or decreases a determination frequency for determining whether each region of the outer cover is contaminated on the basis of external environment data.
