Vehicular driving assistance system with cloud image processing
The granted patent US12045709B2 describes a sophisticated vehicular driving assistance system that integrates advanced imaging technology and cloud processing capabilities. Central to the system is an exterior viewing camera, equipped with an imager containing at least one million photosensor elements, which captures image data from the vehicle's surroundings. This data is processed by an electronic control unit (ECU) that manages multiple vehicle systems, including collision avoidance, headlamp control, lane departure warnings, and traffic sign recognition. The system is designed to prioritize processing tasks, allowing the ECU to handle higher priority tasks locally while simultaneously uploading image data to a cloud-based remote processor for additional analysis.
The patent further details the use of a fog server for processing uploaded image data, which enables real-time functions such as data negotiation, load analysis, and monitoring. The system is capable of utilizing artificial intelligence for real-time data analysis and can communicate with underutilized processors within the vehicle to optimize task management. By employing a decentralized infrastructure, the system enhances efficiency and responsiveness, ensuring that critical driving assistance functions are executed promptly. Overall, this patent outlines a comprehensive approach to vehicular safety and assistance through innovative technology integration.
