Abstract
An automotive sensor integration module including a plurality of sensors differing from each other in at least one of a sensing cycle or an output data format, and a signal processor for selecting a plurality of weights for each of the plurality of sensors on the basis of external environment data, and applying the plurality of weights to a plurality of detection data output from the plurality of sensors respectively to generate a plurality of weighted data.
Claims13
An automotive sensor integration module, comprising:
- a circuit board;
- a first sensor provided on the circuit board and configured to obtain first detection data based on a first sensing cycle;
- a second sensor provided on the circuit board and configured to obtain second detection data based on a second sensing cycle;
- and
- a signal processor configured to synchronously output the first detection data and the second detection data, as sensing data, to an upper-level control device to detect at least one object,
- wherein the signal processor is further configured to:
- select a first weight for the first sensor and a second weight for the second sensor on the basis of at least one of external environment data and recognition data,
- generate first weighted data by applying the first weight to the first detection data and generate second weighted data by applying the second weight to the second detection data, and
- output the first weighted data and the second weighted data as the sensing data to the upper-level control device to detect at least one object.
A method for detecting at least one object using an automotive sensor integration module comprising a circuit board, a first sensor provided on the circuit board and configured to obtain first detection data based on a first sensing cycle, a second sensor provided on the circuit board and configured to obtain second detection data based on a second sensing cycle, and a signal processor configured to synchronously output the first detection data and the second detection data, as sensing data, to an upper-level control device, the method comprising:
- selecting, by the signal processor, a first weight for the first sensor and a second weight for the second sensor on the basis of at least one of external environment data and recognition data,
- generating, by the signal processor, first weighted data by applying the first weight to the first detection data and second weighted data by applying the second weight to the second detection data, and
- outputting, by the signal processor, the first weighted data and the second weighted data as the sensing data to the upper-level control device to detect at least one object.
