  • Control system for a vehicle
    Patent number: 11772647
    Abstract: A control system (10, 19, 185C) for a vehicle (100), the system comprising a processing means (10, 19) arranged to receive, from terrain data capture means (185C) arranged to capture data in respect of terrain ahead of the vehicle by means of one or more sensors, terrain information indicative of the topography of an area extending ahead of the vehicle (100), wherein the terrain information comprises data defining at least one 2D image of the terrain ahead of the vehicle, wherein the processing means (10, 19) is configured to: perform a segmentation operation on image data defining one said at least one 2D image and identify in the image data edges of a predicted path of the vehicle; calculate a 3D point cloud dataset in respect of the terrain ahead of the vehicle based on the terrain information; determine the 3D coordinates of lateral edges of the predicted path of the vehicle by reference to the point cloud dataset, based on the coordinates of edges of the predicted path identified in the 2D image, to dete
