Abstract
A sensor control method includes: obtaining first indication information, where the first indication information indicates a first scenario; determining a configuration parameter of at least one sensor based on the first indication information, where the configuration parameter is corresponding to the first scenario; and sending the configuration parameter to the at least one sensor. The sensor control method may be applied to automatic driving or intelligent driving, and may be specifically applied to assisted driving or unmanned driving. The sensor can be flexibly controlled through configurable parameters of sensors such as radar or a camera.
Claims20
A sensor control method, comprising:
- receiving measurement information from a first sensor, wherein the measurement information comprises at least one of speed information or pedestrian detection information;
- determining a first scenario based on the measurement information, wherein the first scenario comprises a downtown scenario, a suburban scenario, or a highway scenario;
- determining a first configuration parameter of a second sensor based on the first scenario, wherein the second sensor is a laser radar sensor, wherein the first configuration parameter corresponds to the first scenario and comprises a configuration parameter of the laser radar sensor, wherein the configuration parameter configures the laser radar sensor to work in a short-range mode when the first scenario is the downtown scenario, wherein the configuration parameter configures the laser radar sensor to work in a medium-range mode when the first scenario is the suburban scenario, and wherein the configuration parameter configures the laser radar sensor to work in a long-distance mode when the first scenario is the highway scenario;
- and
- sending the first configuration parameter to the second sensor.
