  • Method for detecting objects via a vehicular sensing system
    Patent number: 12007476
    Abstract: A vehicular sensing system includes a first set of first sensors disposed at a first rear portion of a vehicle. The system includes a second set of second sensors disposed at a second rear portion of the vehicle that is above the first rear portion of the vehicle. A respective first field of sensing of at least one first sensor at least partially overlaps a respective second field of sensing of at least one second sensor. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) for processing sensor data to detect objects that are located within the at least partially overlapping fields of sensing of the at least one first sensor and the at least one second sensor. The vehicular sensing system, responsive to detecting the objects that are located within the at least partially overlapping fields of sensing, determines three-dimensional locations of the detected objects relative to the vehicle.
