Publication number: 20180181821Abstract: The image processing device counts the number of lane marking feature points. The image processing device determines whether the count number of the lane marking feature points is equal to or greater than a first threshold. The image processing device arranges the setting to use the lane marking feature points in the lane marking detection process when the count number of the lane marking feature points is equal to or greater than the first threshold. On the other hand, the image processing device counts the number of Botts' Dot feature points when the count number of the lane marking feature points is smaller than the first threshold. The image processing device arranges the setting to use the Botts' Dot feature points in the lane marking detection process when the count number of the Botts' Dot feature points is equal to or greater than the second threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2017Publication date: June 28, 2018Inventors: Shuichi SHIMIZU, Kenji OKANO, Takamichi TORIKURA

Patent number: 9147016Abstract: A method and system where a plurality of ECU is rapidly executed while avoiding deadlock by performing conservative event synchronization. The simulation system is provided with 4 layers, namely a processor emulator which is an ECU emulator, a plant simulator, a external peripheral scheduler, and a mutual peripheral scheduler. The external peripheral scheduler performs advanced execution of the plant simulator only during processor emulator reaction delay time (or the time until the next event). The notification to perform advanced execution of the plant simulator is provided until the actual plant simulator stop time. The mutual peripheral scheduler provides notification to the processor emulator to perform advanced execution only during communication delay timing between processor emulators (or the time until the next event). The processor emulator conservatively processes until the earliest time of the notification times.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2011Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ikuo Matsumura, Shuichi Shimizu
