  • Dual disimilar sensing object detection and targeting system
    Patent number: 6834232
    Abstract: A method of performing object detection within a collision warning and countermeasure system (10) is provided. The method includes generating an object detection signal and generating an image detection signal. Centers-of-reflection (56) and centers-of-intensity (59) are determined in response to the object detection signal and the image detection signal. The centers-of-intensity (59) are associated with the center-of-reflection (56). Differences between the centers-of-reflection (56) and the centroids (62) are determined for a plurality of frames (65) and a sensor difference signal is generated. An object (36) is classified in response to the sensor difference signal.
