SENSOR FUSION OF CAMERA AND V2V DATA FOR VEHICLES

摘要

A method for fusing sensor information detected by a host vehicle and at least one remote vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication equipped vehicle includes collecting visual data from an optical sensor of a vision sub-system, and collecting V2V data from remote vehicles. The method further includes executing a control logic including a first control logic for generating a base lane model and a base confidence level, a second control logic that fuses together the V2V data, the base lane model, and the base confidence level, and a third control logic that generates from the fused lane model, the V2V data, the base lane model, and the base confidence level, a final lane model and final confidence level, and assigns a priority to the final lane model.

主权项

1. A method for fusing sensor information detected by a host vehicle and at least one remote vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication equipped vehicle, the method comprising:
collecting visual data from an optical sensor of a vision sub-system, and generating a base lane model and a base confidence level; collecting V2V data from a receiver of a V2V sub-system; generating a base lane model and a base confidence level from the visual data; fusing together the V2V data, the base lane model, and the base confidence level; generating a final lane model with a final confidence level from the fused together V2V data, the base lane model and the base confidence level; and assigning a priority to the final lane model.
