  • Blind spot detection control apparatus and method
    Patent number: 12528491
    Abstract: A blind spot detection control apparatus for a vehicle, configured for judging whether an object detected during a detection cycle in blind spot zone of the vehicle is an alert object, for outputting a result of judgement to a warning which warns a driver of vehicle that an object is present in blind spot zone based on judging that object detected in blind spot zone is an alert object, wherein apparatus is configured to judge whether an object detected in blind spot zone is an alert object by comparing detection parameters relating to a current target object detected in blind spot zone during a current detection cycle with detection parameters relating to a reference moving object corresponding to a target object detected in blind spot zone at least during a previous detection cycle.
