CROSS TRAFFIC COLLISION ALERT SYSTEM

摘要

A cross traffic collision alert system is provided that includes an image-based detection device for capturing motion data of objects in a region of a direction of travel. A motion analysis module monitors the captured motion data. A salient region detection module identifies regions of interest within the captured motion data. A predictive object detection module is responsive to the outputs of the motion analysis module and the salient region detection module for generating at least one object candidate. Non-imaging object detection sensors sense a region for detecting the at least one object candidate. An object tracking module tracks the at least one object candidate and fuses the at least one object candidate transitioning between the regions. A threat assessment module determines a threat assessment of a potential collision between a tracked object candidate and the driven vehicle and determines whether a warning should be provided.
