  • Bounding box estimation and lane vehicle association
    Patent number: 11948249
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for estimating a 3D bounding box (3DBB) from a 2D bounding box (2DBB). Conventional techniques to estimate 3DBB from 2DBB rely upon classifying target vehicles within the 2DBB. When the target vehicle is misclassified, the projected bounding box from the estimated 3DBB is inaccurate. To address such issues, it is proposed to estimate the 3DBB without relying upon classifying the target vehicle.

  • Electronic accelerator pedal system with a foot pressure-adjusting function
    Patent number: 7073408
    Abstract: An electronic accelerator pedal system with a foot pressure-adjusting function. The foot pressure is variably adjusted with respect to the pedal arm stroke during the depressing and releasing of the accelerator pedal to improve the accelerator manipulation sensation. A foot pressure-adjusting means is installed on the pedal arm that causes a foot pressure to be varied in accordance with the pivoting direction of the pedal arm.
