Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a target detection apparatus and method, and a vehicle control apparatus and method. A vehicle control apparatus includes: an image sensor operable to be disposed at a vehicle so as to have a field of view of exterior of the vehicle, the image sensor configured to capture image data; a processor configured to process the image data captured by the image sensor; and a controller configured to select a control target responsive at least in part to processing by the processor of the image data.
Claims9
A vehicle control apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor disposed at a vehicle so as to have a field of view of exterior of the vehicle, and configured to capture image data;
- a processor configured to process the image data captured by the image sensor;
- and
- a controller configured to
- generate an object based on the processed image data, and
- select, based on the generated object, a first control target to be tracked,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- determine whether an object corresponding to the first control target is generated from the processed image data in a current scan of the image sensor, and
- when the object corresponding to the first control target is not generated in the current scan of the image sensor, generate the object corresponding to the first control target based on information associated with the first control target in a previous scan of the image sensor and select a second control target based on the generated object corresponding to the first control target.
A target detection apparatus comprising:
- a generation unit configured to generate an object based on signal information;
- and
- a providing unit configured to
- determine whether or not an object corresponding to a control target is generated based on the generated object, and
- when the object corresponding to the control target is not generated in the current scan of the image sensor, generate the object corresponding to the control target based on information associated with the control target in a previous scan of the generation unit.
A target detection method comprising:
- generating an object based on signal information;
- selecting, based on the generated object, a control target to be tracked;
- determining whether or not an object corresponding to the control target is generated in a current scan;
- and
- when the object corresponding to the control target is not generated in the current scan, generating the object corresponding to the control target based on information associated with the control target in a previous scan.
