Abstract
A method for diagnosing a sensor failure of a vehicle in a V2X-based cooperative autonomous driving environment is disclosed. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the method for diagnosing a sensor failure of a vehicle comprises: receiving, by the vehicle, object recognition information from at least one of a surrounding vehicle, an infrastructure, or a pedestrian; recognizing, by the vehicle, an object using a lidar sensor; and determining, by the vehicle, whether the lidar sensor has failed, based on the received object recognition information and the object information recognized using the lidar sensor.
Claims15
A method for diagnosing a sensor failure of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a vehicle, object recognition information from at least one of a surrounding vehicle, an infrastructure, or a pedestrian;
- recognizing, by the vehicle, an object using a lidar sensor;
- and
- determining, by the vehicle, whether the lidar sensor has failed, based on the received object recognition information and the object information recognized using the lidar sensor.
An apparatus for diagnosing a sensor failure of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a V2X communication unit configured to perform Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication with a surrounding vehicle, an infrastructure, or a pedestrian;
- a sensor unit including a lidar sensor;
- and
- a control unit configured to:
- receive object recognition information from at least one of a surrounding vehicle, an infrastructure, or a pedestrian;
- recognize an object using the lidar sensor;
- and
- determine whether the lidar sensor has failed based on the received object recognition information and the object information recognized using the lidar sensor.
