JOACHIM CARSTEN MUELLER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11798291
    Abstract: A system for a reliability of objects for a driver assistance or automated driving of a vehicle includes a plurality of sensors that include one or more sensor modalities for providing sensor data for the objects. An electronic tracking unit is configured to receive the sensor data to determine a detection probability (p_D) for each of the plurality of sensors for each of the objects, to determine an existence probability (p_ex) for each of the plurality of sensors for each of the objects, and to provide vectors for each of the objects based on the existence probability (p_ex) for each contributing one of the plurality of sensors for the specific object. The vectors are provided by the electronic tracking unit for display as an object interface on a display device. The vectors are independent from the sensor data from the plurality of sensors.

  • Patent number: 11613255
    Abstract: Redundant environment perception tracking for automated driving systems. One example embodiment provides a surveillance system, the system including a plurality of sensors, a memory, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from the plurality of sensors, environmental information of a common field of view, generate, based on the environmental information, a plurality of hypotheses regarding an object within the common field of view, the plurality of hypotheses including at least one set of hypotheses excluding the environmental information from at least one sensor of a first sensor type, determine, based on a subset of the plurality of hypotheses, an object state of the object, wherein the subset includes the at least one set of hypotheses excluding the environmental information from the at least one sensor of the first sensor type, and track the object based on the object state that is determined.
