  • Publication number: 20250086769
    Abstract: The vehicle control apparatus may comprise a sensor and a processor configured to determine, based on frames obtained by using the sensor, a plane formed by a first axis and a second axis, the second axis corresponding to a driving direction of a vehicle, and the first axis being perpendicular to the second axis, detect objects in regions of interest of the plane, determine virtual boxes corresponding to the objects, generate a first field of view (FOV) based on the virtual boxes, determine ground points, generate a second FOV based on the ground points, generate a third FOV based on at least one of the first FOV, the second FOV, or angle information included in specification information of the sensor, determine a state of a boundary region of the sensor based on the third FOV, and output a signal indicating the determined state of the boundary region of the sensor.

  • Publication number: 20250085392
    Abstract: An apparatus may comprise a first sensor, a second sensor, and a processor configured to obtain data related to an object in front of the vehicle driving along a first axis, project points in the data onto a plane formed by a second axis, being perpendicular to the first axis, and a third axis being perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis, determine first points obtained by the first sensor and second points obtained by the second sensor, obtain a vector indicating a separation between first subset of the first points and second subset of the second points, determine, based on the vector, whether the first points match the second points, adjust, based on the determination of whether the first points match the second points, a separation between the first points and the second points, and output a signal indicating the adjusted separation.

  • Publication number: 20240378898
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for recognizing a lane line based on LiDAR are disclosed. The method includes acquiring candidate points of a lane line around an ego vehicle by using a LiDAR sensor, determining at least one straight line by using the candidate points, and determining a curve using final points corresponding to the at least one straight line.

  • Publication number: 20240255615
    Abstract: A bushes detection method includes: based on an echo pulse width (EPW) value of point data of each object, determining an object having feature point data corresponding to a bush feature as a candidate bush object; generating a grid map based on point data of the candidate bush object; and based on point data that matches a cell including point data of the grid map, of point data of an object of interest (OOI) determined for an association, determining the OOI as bushes and outputting related information.

  • Patent number: 9583226
    Abstract: The cooling duct assembly for a control element drive mechanism (CEDM) includes a skirt that is combined on a circumference of a reactor head and has first air channels in an inner side thereof; a lower duct that is combined with an upper side of the skirt, has second air channels that are connected to the first air channels, and is disposed to surround a circumference of the CEDM; and an upper duct, an edge of which is combined with the cooling air handling device, and other edge of which is detachably combined with the lower duct, wherein air that cools the CEDM is discharged to the outside after sequentially passing the first air channels, the second air channels, the upper duct, and the cooling air handling device, and the upper duct separated from the lower duct is lifted together with the cooling air handling device.
