Abstract
In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed at a computer implemented method for determining a drivable area in front of a host vehicle. According to the method, a region of interest is monitored in front of the host vehicle by at least two sensors of a detection system of the host vehicle. The region of interest is divided into a plurality of areas via a computer system of the host vehicle, and each area of the plurality of areas is classified as drivable area, non-drivable area or unknown area via the computer system based on fused data received by the at least two sensors.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining a drivable area in front of a host vehicle by at least:
- monitoring, by at least two sensors of a detection system of the host vehicle, a region of interest in front of the host vehicle;
- dividing, via a computer system of the host vehicle, the region of interest into a plurality of areas;
- and
- classifying, via the computer system, each area of the plurality of areas as drivable area, non-drivable area or unknown area based on fused data received by the at least two sensors.
A system, comprising:
- a vehicle-based system for determining a drivable area in front of a host vehicle, the vehicle-based system comprising:
- a detection system comprising at least two sensors configured to monitor a region of interest in front of the host vehicle;
- and
- a computer system configured to:
- divide the region of interest into a plurality of areas;
- and
- classify each area of the plurality of areas as drivable area, non-drivable area or unknown area based on fused data received by the at least two sensors.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for determining a drivable area in front of a host vehicle by at least:
- monitoring, via at least two sensors of a detection system of the host vehicle, a region of interest in front of the host vehicle;
- dividing the region of interest into a plurality of areas;
- and
- classifying each area of the plurality of areas as drivable area, non-drivable area, or unknown area based on fused data received by the at least two sensors.
