Patents by Inventor Marius Wombacher

Marius Wombacher 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: 10929693
    Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a camera configured to be mounted at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle and having a field of view exterior and forward of the vehicle. An ECU includes an image processor operable to process image data captured by the camera when the camera is mounted at the vehicle windshield. The ECU, responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, determines lane markers ahead of the vehicle. The ECU determines a path of travel of the vehicle. The ECU, responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, detects an object that is present forward of the vehicle. Responsive to determination at the ECU that the detected object is in the path of travel of the vehicle, an auxiliary light source of the vehicle is controlled by the ECU to enhance illumination of the detected object.

  • Patent number: 10331956
    Abstract: A vision system of a vehicle includes a camera having a field of view exterior and forward of the vehicle. A control includes an image processor that is operable to process image data captured by the camera. The control is operable to determine lane markers ahead of the vehicle and in a path of travel of the vehicle, and predicts lane markers beyond the sensing range of the camera. Responsive to prediction of lane markers ahead of the vehicle that are outside and beyond the first sensing range of the camera, the control controls a matrix of light emitting diodes to enhance illumination at a target region that encompasses where lane markers are predicted to be. Responsive to processing of captured image data with enhanced illumination at the target region, the control is operable to determine the presence of an object at the target region.
