Multi-sensor system

TL;DR: In this paper, a vehicle surroundings monitoring apparatus, comprising frontal information detecting means for detecting solid object information in front of an own vehicle, preceding vehicle recognizing means for recognizing a preceding vehicle based on the solid objects other than the preceding vehicle, traveling path estimating means for estimating a traveling path of the own vehicle.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic configuration system runs on the multiple processors and includes a device manager, configuration manager, and data manager, which detects and adds new devices to the multiprocessor system, and the configuration manager automatically reconfigures which processors run the real-time applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, a behavior analysis on mobile objects in the vicinity of an autonomous vehicle is performed to improve the safety, use, driver experience, and performance of these vehicles by performing behavior analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a radar sensor is disposed at a pocket established at an upper edge of the vehicle windshield and having a forward transmitting and receiving direction that is not through the windshield.

TL;DR: In this article, a camera and a beam-scan type laser radar whose optical axes are coincident are mounted on a vehicle and a lane detector detects the vehicle's own lane on a display image by processing an image picked up by the camera.

TL;DR: In this paper, a support member is mounted on a corner of a vehicle for scanning a pattern including areas on opposite sides of the vehicle corner in an automotive application, including a rear area, and a blind spot on the side of vehicle adjacent to the rear area.

TL;DR: An apparatus for vending public multimedia services has a telephone, a multimedia terminal, a payment receiver for accepting an authorization to accept charges for enabling use of at least one of the telephone and the multimedia terminals, a file receiver for receiving a file, the file containing a field with cost per unit time for a service, memory for storing the file, and usage cost determiner for determining a usage cost based on a time of use of the service and information in the file as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, an obstacle detection system for an automotive vehicle detects obstacles ahead of the vehicle and finds the dynamic relativity between the vehicle between each obstacle and each of the obstacles, based on which information relating to a danger level between vehicle and each obstacle is operated on so as to make a danger judgement.
