  • Patent number: 12167171
    Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and capturing image data. The vehicular vision system, via processing at an electronic control unit of a first frame of image data captured by the camera, detects a first object exterior of the vehicle and determines an attribute of the first object. The vehicular vision system, via processing at the electronic control unit of a second frame of image data captured by the camera, detects a second object exterior of the vehicle and determines the attribute of the second object. The system determines whether the first object and the second object are the same object based on a similarity measurement. The vehicular vision system, responsive to determining that the first object and the second object are the same object, merges the attribute of the first object with the attribute of the second object.
