Patent number: 11900685Abstract: A method for identifying potentially hazardous or at-risk objects in the surroundings of a vehicle. The method includes detecting an area of the surroundings using at least one event-based sensor, the event-based sensor including light-sensitive pixels, and a relative change of the light intensity incident upon a pixel by at least a predefined percentage prompting the sensor to output an event assigned to this pixel. The method also includes assigning events output by the sensor to objects in the area; analyzing, for at least one object to which events are assigned, the events assigned to the object with respect to present movements of the object; and ascertaining an impending movement of the object, and/or an impending change of state, of the object from the present movements. An associated computer program is also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Michael Pfeiffer, Jochen Marx, Oliver Lange

Patent number: 11790663Abstract: A system (1) for detecting dynamic secondary objects (55) that have a potential to intersect the trajectory (51) of a moving primary object (50), comprising a vision sensor (2) with a light-sensitive area (20) that comprises event-based pixels (21), so that a relative change in the light intensity impinging onto an event-based pixel (21) of the vision sensor (2) by at least a predetermined percentage causes the vision sensor (2) to emit an event (21a) associated with this event-based pixel (21), wherein the system (1) further comprises a discriminator module (3) that gets both the stream of events (21a) from the vision sensor (2) and information (52) about the heading and/or speed of the motion of the primary object (50) as inputs, and is configured to identify, from said stream of events (21a), based at least in part on said information (52), events (21b) that are likely to be caused by the motion of a secondary object (55), rather than by the motion of the primary object (50).Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2019Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignees: ROBERT BOSCH GMBH, PROPHESEE SAInventors: Michael Pfeiffer, Jochen Marx, Oliver Lange, Christoph Posch, Xavier Lagorce, Spiros Nikolaidis
