Abstract
An autonomous guidance system that operates a vehicle in an autonomous mode includes a camera module, a radar module, and a controller. The camera module outputs an image signal indicative of an image of an object in an area about a vehicle. The radar module outputs a reflection signal indicative of a reflected signal reflected by the object. The controller determines an object-location of the object on a map of the area based on a vehicle-location of the vehicle on the map, the image signal, and the reflection signal. The controller classifies the object as small when a magnitude of the reflection signal associated with the object is less than a signal-threshold.
Claims5
An autonomous guidance system that operates a vehicle in an autonomous mode, said system comprising:
- a camera module that outputs an image signal indicative of an image of an object in an area about a vehicle;
- a radar module that outputs a reflection signal indicative of a reflected signal reflected by the object;
- and
- a controller that determines an object-location of the object on a map of roadways proximate to the area based on a vehicle-location of the vehicle on the map, the image signal, and the reflection signal, wherein the controller classifies the object as small when a magnitude of the reflection signal associated with the object is less than a signal-threshold, and the object is not indicated on the map.
