Abstract: A method and system for improving real-time false positive reduction, in which first and second sensor data of a potential object in a common portion of an environment of a motor vehicle are compared. Upon determining that there is a discrepancy in the first and second sensor data in relation to the object, an analysis by synthesis is performed on the first sensor data. If the analysis results in a match, then the first sensor data are validated and can be used for generating a control signal for an autonomous vehicle. If the analysis results in a mismatch, the first sensor data are excluded from generating the control signal. In case of no discrepancy between the first and second sensor data, both are used in generating the control signal.

Abstract: A method for classifying the height of an object by at least one vehicle ultrasonic sensor is disclosed. A computer receives at least two ultrasonic signals, calculates a first item of height information based on two items of spacing information relating to at least one vehicle ultrasonic sensor and the object, and calculates a variance of the first item of information. The computer similarly calculates a second item of height information and a variance thereof from a received further ultrasonic signal. The computer combines the items of height information as an average thereof, and the calculated variances of items of height information as an averaged variance thereof. The object is classified in a height class by calculating a probability value based on a distribution function which has as a mean value the averaged item of height information and as a variance the averaged variance of the height information.
