  • Patent number: 10859697
    Abstract: A method for detecting an object in a surrounding region of a motor vehicle is disclosed. In each of a plurality of temporally sequential measurement cycles a raw signal is received, which describes an ultrasonic signal of an ultrasonic sensor reflected in the surrounding region, the raw signal is compared with a predetermined ground threshold value curve, and a signal component of the raw signal that is to be tracked which exceeds the ground threshold value curve is detected and assigned to the object, and the object is tracked in the measurement cycles on the basis of the detected signal component that is to be tracked, wherein to track the object after recognition of the signal component that is to be tracked, in the subsequent measurement cycles, signal peaks of the raw signal are detected, and an assignment to the object is checked for the detected signal peaks.

  • Publication number: 20200258379
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining movement information, in particular for a vehicle assistance system (20), with a first and a second surroundings sensor (22, 24), comprising the steps of determining a first key pose (16) of a first surroundings sensor (22) at a first reference time, wherein the first key pose (16) supplies a feature set of the surroundings of a position, determining a first feature set (18) with the first surroundings sensor (22) at a first reference time plus a first time difference relative to the first key pose (16), determining a second key pose (16) of a second surroundings sensor (24) at a second reference time, wherein the second key pose (16) supplies a feature set of the surroundings of a position, determining a second feature set (18) with the second surroundings sensor (24) at a second reference time plus a second time difference relative to the second key pose (16), determining a first relative change in position from the features of the first feature set (18) wit

  • Patent number: 10564282
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting at least one object (3) in surroundings (4) of a motor vehicle (1), in which a first sensor (6) is actuated to emit a sensor signal, sensor data are received from a second sensor (6), which describe the sensor signal reflected from the at least one object (3), a fuzzy feature (xU) is determined from the sensor data as an object feature (xP, xL, xU) for describing the at least one object (3), wherein the fuzzy feature (xU) describes a distance between the at least one object (3) and the first sensor (6) and a distance between the at least one object and the second sensor (6), wherein the fuzzy feature (xU) is described as an ellipse (xE), a further object feature (xP, xL), which describes the at least one object (3), is determined on the basis of sensor data of at least one further measurement of the first and/or the second sensor (6), the further object feature (xP, xL) and the fuzzy feature (xU) are transferred using an innovation function (h) into a common sta

  • Publication number: 20180239017
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting an object (8) in a surrounding region (9) of a motor vehicle (1) in which in each of a plurality of temporally sequential measurement cycles a raw signal (10) is received, which describes an ultrasonic signal of an ultrasonic sensor (4) reflected in the surrounding region (9), the raw signal (10) is compared with a predetermined ground threshold value curve (11), and a signal component (14) of the raw signal (10) that is to be tracked which exceeds the ground threshold value curve (11) is detected and assigned to the object (8), and the object (8) is tracked in the measurement cycles on the basis of the detected signal component (14) that is to be tracked, wherein to track the object (8) after recognition of the signal component (14) that is to be tracked, in the subsequent measurement cycles, signal peaks (13) of the raw signal (10) are detected, and an assignment to the object (8) is checked for the detected signal peaks (13).
