  • Patent number: 9355319
    Abstract: A system for identifying road surface conditions includes a road surface measurement sensor attached to a vehicle and configured to generate a measurement signal for a road surface condition, and a controller. The controller is configured to digitalize the measurement signal received from the road surface measurement sensor, calculate a curvature pattern for the road surface condition based on the digitalized measurement signal, and compare the calculated curvature pattern with a pre-stored curvature pattern to identify the road surface condition.

  • Patent number: 9207320
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and a system for producing a classifier for recognizing an obstacle, including a processor configured to: display surface data of a plurality of obstacles measured by a distance measurement sensor in a two-dimensional (2D) coordinate system; group and classify the surface data displayed in the 2D coordinate system for each obstacle; setting a plurality of feature references to analyze region based features displayed for each obstacle in the 2D coordinate system and calculate the respective feature references for each obstacle grouping; and producing the classifier by applying a weight to each of the feature references.

  • Patent number: 9024740
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method of providing a warning to a pedestrian using a laser beam. In particular, objects present in a detection area of a front impact sensor provided on a vehicle are detected. A movement path vector of a first moving object that is moving in a direction identical to that of the vehicle, among the objects present in the detection area, is generated. When the movement path vector of the first moving object falls within an error range of a movement vector of the vehicle, the first moving object is designated as belonging to a group of laser warning target candidates, and thereafter an emission angle of a laser beam is generated. The laser beam is emitted through a laser light based on the emission angle of the laser beam.

  • Publication number: 20140121954
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and a method for estimating velocity of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a surrounding environment information acquisition unit that acquires surrounding environment information of the vehicle from at least one sensor; a distance information extraction unit that extracts, from the surrounding environment information, distance information between the vehicle and objects in the vicinity of the vehicle; a group setting unit that classifies and groups the distance information according to a preset reference; a velocity calculation unit that calculates relative velocities between the vehicle and the objects for each group set; and a velocity estimation unit that estimates the velocity of the vehicle based on velocity values having the highest generation frequency from among the calculated relative velocities for each group.
