  • Publication number: 20200182992
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle environment detection system arranged to detect at least one detection and comprises at least one radar system, at least one camera device and at least one processing unit. For each radar detection at least one azimuth detection angle with respect to an x-axis and a detected Doppler velocity component that is constituted by detected Doppler velocity with respect to the radar system are obtained. For each detection, said processing unit is arranged to: Obtain corresponding camera detections for at least two image frames, constituting an optical flow. Determine a velocity y-component from said optical flow, where the velocity y-component is constituted by a projection of a resulting velocity onto a y-axis that extends perpendicular to the x-axis. Determine the resulting velocity from the detected Doppler velocity component and the velocity y-component.

  • Patent number: 9052711
    Abstract: A method for processing a sequence of fault messages occurring in a device including many systems, makes it possible to discriminate between fault messages most likely originating from a real system fault and fault messages without any real fault in the associated system (no fault found), characterized in that the method combines: an “air-side” method (100) executed in real time for acquiring fault message data defining sequences stored in a fault database and for immediate diagnosis assistance using a diagnostics tool, and a “ground-side” method (200) for the subsequent analysis of fault sequence data and for improving the diagnostics tool.
