Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for hybrid radar and camera edge sensors are disclosed. Examples disclosed herein relate to a hybrid sensor system having a plurality of edge sensors positioned on the perimeter of a vehicle. The hybrid sensor system processes signals received from the various sensors to identify a target located within the vicinity of the vehicle.
Claims20
A radar system, comprising:
- a first sensor module;
- a second sensor module;
- a memory storage unit;
- and
- at least one processing unit adapted to perform the operations of:
- receiving a first set of data from the first sensor module;
- receiving a second set of data from the second sensor module;
- analyzing the first set of data;
- analyzing the second set of data;
- digitizing the first and second sets of data;
- performing object recognition on the first and second sets of data;
- combining the analyzed first and second sets of data;
- and
- identifying at least one target based on the combined analyzed sets of data.
11 more elements
A method for environmental perception of a vehicle, comprising:
- generating first sensor data;
- generating second sensor data;
- processing the first sensor data;
- generating a first classification output based on the processing of the first sensor data;
- processing the second sensor data;
- digitizing the first and second sensor data;
- generating a second classification output based on the processing of the second sensor data;
- combining and interpreting the first classification output and the second classification output;
- and
- identifying at least one target based on the combined first and second classification outputs.
7 more elements
A method for environmental perception of a first vehicle, comprising:
- generating, by a first sensor module on a second vehicle, sensor data;
- transmitting, by the first sensor module on the second vehicle, the sensor data to a second sensor module on the first vehicle;
- receiving, by the second sensor module on the first vehicle, the sensor data;
- and
- identifying at least one target by using the sensor data, wherein the at least one target is a road marking for navigation.
