  • Device for classifying at least one object in the surrounding field of a vehicle
    Patent number: 8301344
    Abstract: A device for classifying at least one object in the surrounding field of a vehicle with the aid of an environmental sensor system, the device classifying the at least one object on the basis of its shape and its dimensions, and the environmental sensor system ascertaining the dimensions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2004
    Date of Patent: October 30, 2012
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Stephan Simon, Sebastian Lindner, Henning Voelz

  • Method for evaluation and stabilization over time of classification results
    Patent number: 7796820
    Abstract: Classification methods are described that proceed in computer-assisted fashion, and in particular a method for evaluation and stabilization over time of classification results is described in which objects to be classified are sensed using sensors over a period of time, and are repeatedly classified with the inclusion of specific quality parameters for each object class. To ensure better classification reliability, the following steps may be carried out: a) increasing the value of the confidence parameter if a subsequent classification confirms the result of a previous classification; b) decreasing the value of the confidence parameter if a subsequent classification does not confirm the result of a previous classification; and c) generating a final classification result including the confidence parameters that have been increased or decreased in value.
