  • EHORIZON UPGRADER MODULE, MOVING OBJECTS AS EHORIZON EXTENSION, SENSOR DETECTED MAP DATA AS EHORIZON EXTENSION, AND OCCUPANCY GRID AS EHORIZON EXTENSION
    Publication number: 20220090939
    Abstract: A method for providing vehicle information includes: receiving first vehicle data encoded according to a first protocol and corresponding to an environment external to a vehicle; receiving high definition mapping data corresponding to objects in the environment external to the vehicle; generating position information for objects indicated in the high definition mapping data by correlating locations of objects indicated by the high definition mapping data with objects in the environment external to the vehicle detected by at least one sensor; generating second vehicle data by correlating the high definition mapping data, the position information, and the first vehicle data; and encoding the second vehicle data according to a second protocol.

  • Method and control unit for detecting a region of interest
    Patent number: 11238319
    Abstract: A method for a vehicle includes determining a region of interest based on environment sensor data corresponding an environment of the vehicle and a machine-learned predictor configured to identify, within the environment sensor data, a region as the region of interest that at least statistically coincides with a line of sight of an occupant of the vehicle. The method also includes classifying a detected object within the determined region of interest using an object detection algorithm. The method also includes operating the vehicle in based on at least one of the detected object and the determined region of interest.
