Abstract
An image data generator is for an assistance system. The assistance assists a driver with driving a lean vehicle. The image data generator can suppress a delay in initiation of rider assistance operation in an assistance system in comparison with conventional assistance systems. The image data generator has an input section, a first data generating section, and a second data generating section. The input section receives an imaging data from an imaging device. The imaging device detects an environment around the lean vehicle. The first data generating section generates a first image data by shifting the imaging data in a vertical direction. The second data generating section generates a second image data by rotating the first image data.
Claims13
An assistance system (10) for assisting a rider with driving a lean vehicle (1), the system comprising:
- an image data generator (20) that includes:
- a computer that is configured to
- receive an imaging data (30) from an imaging device (11), the imaging device (11) configured to detect an environment around the lean vehicle (1);
- generate a first image data (31) by shifting the imaging data (30) in a vertical direction;
- and
- generate a second image data (32) by rotating the first image data (31), wherein the computer is further configured to determine a shift amount between the imaging data (30) and the first image data (31) based on posture information of the lean vehicle (1) in a pitching direction, wherein
- the posture information in the pitching direction is an expansion/compression amount of a suspension (4) on a side of a front wheel (3) of the lean vehicle (1), and
- a controller that controls the lean vehicle (1) by performing at least one assistance operation selected from a group consisting of an emergency braking function and a cruise travel function.
An assistance system (10) for assisting a rider with driving a lean vehicle (1), the system comprising:
- an image data generator (20) that includes:
- a computer that is configured to
- receive an imaging data (30) from an imaging device (11), the imaging device (11) configured to detect an environment around the lean vehicle (1);
- generate a first image data (31) by shifting the imaging data (30) in a vertical direction;
- and
- generate a second image data (32) by rotating the first image data (31), wherein the computer is further configured to determine a shift amount between the imaging data (30) and the first image data (31) based on posture information of the lean vehicle (1) in a pitching direction, and
- a controller that controls the lean vehicle (1) by performing at least one assistance operation selected from a group consisting of an emergency braking function and a cruise travel function, wherein
- the posture information in the pitching direction is acceleration/deceleration in a front-rear direction of the lean vehicle (1).
An assistance system (10), for assisting a rider with driving a lean vehicle (1), the system comprising:
- an image data generator (20) that includes:
- a computer that is configured to
- receive an imaging data (30) from an imaging device (11), the imaging device (11) configured to detect an environment around the lean vehicle (1);
- generate a first image data (31) by shifting the imaging data (30) in a vertical direction;
- and
- generate a second image data (32) by rotating the first image data (31), wherein the computer is further configured to determine a shift amount between the imaging data (30) and the first image data (31) based on posture information of the lean vehicle (1) in a pitching direction, and
- a controller that controls the lean vehicle (1) by performing at least one assistance operation selected from a group consisting of an emergency braking function and a cruise travel, wherein
- the imaging device (11) moves with a handlebar (2) of the lean vehicle (1) while the imaging device (11) is mounted in the lean vehicle (1), and
- the computer is configured to determine the shift amount between the imaging data (30) and the first image data (31) based on the posture information in the pitching direction and a steering angle of the lean vehicle (1).
An image data generation method for an assistance system (10), the assistance system assisting a rider with driving a lean vehicle (1), the image data generation method comprising:
- imputing (S2) an imaging data (30) detected by an imaging device (11), the imaging device (11) configured to detects an environment around the lean vehicle (1);
- generating (S3) a first image data (31) by shifting the image data (30) along a vertical direction;
- and
- generating (S4) a second image data (32) by rotating the first image data (31), wherein
- a computer is further configured to determine a shift amount between the imaging data (30) and the first image data (31) based on posture information of the lean vehicle (1) in a pitching direction, wherein
- the posture information in the pitching direction is an expansion/compression amount of a suspension (4) on a side of a front wheel (3) of the lean vehicle (1), and
- a controller performing at least one assistance operation selected from the group consisting of an emergency braking function, and a cruise travel function.
