Abstract
Vehicle recording based terrain objective characteristic determination is performed by detecting a vehicle reaction of a vehicle, the vehicle reaction triggered by a threshold reading of at least one triggering sensor of the vehicle, recording an output of the at least one triggering sensor and at least one related sensor of the vehicle in response to detecting the vehicle reaction, and determining an objective characteristic of a terrain based on the recorded output of the at least one triggering sensor, the recorded output of the at least one related sensor, and at least one characteristic of the vehicle.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting a vehicle reaction of a vehicle, the vehicle reaction triggered by a threshold reading of at least one triggering sensor of the vehicle;
- recording an output of the at least one triggering sensor and at least one related sensor of the vehicle in response to detecting the vehicle reaction;
- and
- determining an objective characteristic of a terrain based on the recorded output of the at least one triggering sensor, the recorded output of the at least one related sensor, and at least one characteristic of the vehicle.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions recorded thereon that are executable by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a vehicle reaction of a vehicle, the vehicle reaction triggered by a threshold reading of at least one triggering sensor of the vehicle;
- recording an output of the at least one triggering sensor and at least one related sensor of the vehicle in response to detecting the vehicle reaction;
- and
- determining an objective characteristic of a terrain based on the recorded output of the at least one triggering sensor, the recorded output of the at least one related sensor, and at least one characteristic of the vehicle.
An apparatus comprising:
- a controller including circuitry configured to
- detect a vehicle reaction of a vehicle, the vehicle reaction triggered by a threshold reading of at least one triggering sensor of the vehicle,
- record an output of the at least one triggering sensor and at least one related sensor of the vehicle in response to detecting the vehicle reaction, and
- determine an objective characteristic of a terrain based on the recorded output of the at least one triggering sensor, the recorded output of the at least one related sensor, and at least one characteristic of the vehicle.
