  • Publication number: 20240107169
    Abstract: A method computes a final image of an area surrounding a vehicle, from at least one image captured in a first angular portion of the area surrounding the vehicle by a camera and a distance between the vehicle and a point in the surrounding area, which distance is determined, in a second angular portion located in one of the first angular portions, by at least one measurement sensor. The method includes capturing an image and, for each captured image, correcting a distortion in the captured image to generate a corrected image; for each corrected image, transforming the perspective of the corrected image using a matrix storing a pre-calculated distance between the camera and a point in the corresponding surrounding area; and adding the transformed images to obtain the final image. The perspective transforming includes adjusting the pre-calculated distance to the distance determined by the measurement sensor.

  • Publication number: 20230278544
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to safety devices and systems for light mobility vehicles. In one example, a light mobility vehicle safety system includes one or more sensors and a processor coupled to a light mobility vehicle. The processor may be configured to determine that the light mobility vehicle is part of a group of two or more light mobility vehicles; determine a position of the light mobility vehicle relative to one or more other light mobility vehicles in the group; determine one or more relevant sensors of the one or more sensors based on the position of the light mobility vehicle and positioning of the one or more sensors on the light mobility vehicle; receive first relevant safety-related data from the one or more relevant sensors; and transmit the first relevant safety-related data to one or more other light mobility vehicles in the group.

  • Patent number: 10389734
    Abstract: A method and device for managing a communication message verification process in a communication system containing a plurality of nodes N1 to N9, including: a step of receiving one or more communication messages at a first node N1 of the communication system, from one or more nodes N2 to N9 adjacent to the first node N1; a step of executing a validity verification operation in relation to the one or more received communication messages; a step of determining a comprehensive verification rate parameter V_all indicating the number of validity verification operations executed per unit time at the first node N1; and a step of controlling the execution of the validity verification operations so that the comprehensive verification rate parameter V_all does not exceed a comprehensive verification rate threshold, for one or more additional communication messages from the nodes N2 to N9 adjacent to the first node N1.
