Abstract
A method of processing data for a driving automation system, the method comprising steps of: obtaining image data from a camera of an autonomous vehicle, AV; image processing the image data to obtain a vehicle registration mark, VRM, of another vehicle within the surrounding area of the AV; looking up the VRM in a vehicle information database to obtain information indicative of the make, the model and the date of manufacture of the other vehicle; looking up information indicative of the make, the model and the date of manufacture of the other vehicle in a vehicle dimensions database to obtain at least one dimension of the other vehicle; and updating a context of the autonomous vehicle based on said at least one dimension of the other vehicle.

(canceled)
A method of controlling an object detection and avoidance system in an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining image or visual data of a surrounding area of the autonomous vehicle from a camera of the autonomous vehicle;
- processing the image or visual data to obtain identifying information of another vehicle or object within the surrounding area;
- obtaining at least one dimension of the other vehicle or object;
- and
- generating a control signal comprising instructions configured to cause the object detection and avoidance system to determine an avoidance procedure for the autonomous vehicle with respect to the other vehicle or object depending on the at least one dimension of the other vehicle or object.
A device for controlling an object detection and avoidance system in an autonomous vehicle, comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors to execute the instructions causing the one or more processors to:
- obtain image or visual data of a surrounding area of the autonomous vehicle from a camera of the autonomous vehicle;
- process the image or visual data to obtain identifying information of another vehicle or object within the surrounding area;
- obtain at least one dimension of the other vehicle or object;
- and
- generate a control signal comprising instructions configured to cause the object detection and avoidance system to determine an avoidance procedure for the autonomous vehicle with respect to the other vehicle or object depending on the at least one dimension of the other vehicle or object.
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions for controlling an object detection and avoidance system in an autonomous vehicle, the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- obtain image or visual data of a surrounding area of the autonomous vehicle from a camera of the autonomous vehicle;
- process the image or visual data to obtain identifying information of another vehicle or object within the surrounding area;
- obtain at least one dimension of the other vehicle or object;
- and
- generate a control signal comprising instructions configured to cause the object detection and avoidance system to determine an avoidance procedure for the autonomous vehicle with respect to the other vehicle or object depending on the at least one dimension of the other vehicle or object.
