Publication number: 20230138969Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for generating a trained learning algorithm configured to predict the presence of environmental conditions in image data, a vehicle for utilizing the algorithm, as well as methods and systems for generating the training data for the automated supervised training of a learning algorithm. In some embodiments the training data is in the form of labelled images generated by a camera device arranged on a vehicle, where the labels are indicative of an environmental sensor activation or deactivation signal, or a user-input signal which serve as a supervisory signal for the training of the learning algorithm.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2020Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventor: Ognjan HEDBERG

Publication number: 20220262136Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control device and method for estimating a drivable space in a surrounding environment of a vehicle. In particular, the disclosure relates to a “free space estimation” solution with reduced validation effort. The control device includes one or more processors adapted to obtain sensor data, determine a surface flatness MF and a surface texture MR of at least one portion of the surrounding environment by means of two independent algorithms, and defining a drivable space based on obtained values.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2020Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Erik ROSEN, Nicholas WICKSTRÖM, Peter HALL, Mattias BRÄNNSTRÖM, Ognjan HEDBERG

Patent number: 9990551Abstract: A driver assistance system (10) for a motor vehicle comprises an imaging means (11) for acquiring images from a surrounding of the motor vehicle, and a processing means (14) adapted to perform image processing of images (30) recorded by the imaging means (11) and to detect an oncoming vehicle (33) by identifying its head lights (34) as a result of the image processing. The processing means (14) is adapted to detect, in the recorded images (30), a light aura (37) originating from at least one light source (34) hidden to the imaging means (11), and to use the light aura detection in the oncoming vehicle detection.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2012Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: AUTOLIV DEVELOPMENT ABInventors: Jonas Hammarström, Ognjan Hedberg

Publication number: 20140078291Abstract: A driver assisting system (10) for a motor vehicle (20) comprises an imaging means (11) adapted to acquire images from a surrounding of the motor vehicle (20), a processing means (14) adapted to apply image processing to images acquired by the imaging means (11), and a driver assisting means (18) controlled by the processing means (14) to provide information to the driver based on a result of the image processing. The processing means (14) is adapted to detect from the image processing a periodically blinking warning light (22), and to control the driver assisting means (18) in order to inform and/or alert the driver in case a periodically blinking warning light (22) is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2012Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Jonas Hammarström, Ognjan Hedberg

Patent number: 8582818Abstract: A method of automatically detecting objects in front of a motor vehicle comprises the steps of pre-storing template objects representing possible objects in front of the motor vehicle, detecting images from a region in front of the vehicle by a vehicle mounted imaging means, generating a processed image containing disparity or vehicle-to-scene distance information from the detected images, comparing the pre-stored template objects with corresponding regions-of-interest of the processed image, and generating a match result relating to the match between the processed image and the template objects. Each of the pre-stored template objects is a flat two-dimensional multi-pixel area of predetermined shape.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Per Jonas Hammarström, Ognjan Hedberg

Publication number: 20120026332Abstract: A vision method for automatically detecting objects in front of a motor vehicle, comprises the steps of detecting images from a region in front of the vehicle by a vehicle mounted imaging means; generating from said detected images a processed image, containing disparity or vehicle-to-scene distance information; comparing regions-of-interest of said processed image to template objects relating to possible objects in front of the motor vehicle; calculating for each template object a score relating to the match between said processed image and the template object; and identifying large scores of sufficient absolute magnitude of said calculated scores. The vision method further comprises the steps of applying an algorithm adapted to identify groups of said large scores, and assigning an identified group of large scores to a single match object.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2010Publication date: February 2, 2012Inventors: Per Jonas Hammarström, Ognjan Hedberg

Patent number: 8045011Abstract: An imaging apparatus including an infrared video camera. The infrared video camera includes a sensor array operable to produce successive video images in the form of pixelated two-dimensional images. The imaging apparatus further comprises a processing arrangement operable to reduce or increase the overall brightness of an image in dependence upon the overall brightness of the pre-enhanced image and the overall brightness of the preceding enhanced image, so that the change in the overall brightness (DC-level) between the enhanced image and the preceding enhanced image is decreased.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2008Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Tobias Höglund, Ognjan Hedberg, Peter Hall

Patent number: 7796168Abstract: Methods and systems for mitigating undesirable video flash in infrared camera systems are disclosed. A frame of video can be stored in a buffer and information related to the frame of video can be processed prior to displaying the video such that the processed information facilitates display of the video substantially without flashing. A display of a non-flashed frame can be frozen while a flash event would otherwise cause a flashed frame to be displayed. The shift in a histogram caused by a flash event or some portion thereof can be subtracted from pixels of an image. Thus, image quality can be substantially enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2006Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignees: Flir Systems, Inc., Autoliv Development ABInventors: Joseph Kostrzewa, Peter Hall, Ognjan Hedberg, Tobias Höglund, Leonard S. Araki, Douglas R. Kraemer
