Efficiently identifying target objects pointed to by vehicle occupants
A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20240037956A1) describes a data processing system for vehicles that includes a position detection unit, an occupant state recognition unit, a target object database, an appearance feature database, a speech recognition unit, an object recognition unit, and an output unit. The system is designed to detect the position of the vehicle, recognize the motion of the occupant pointing outside the vehicle, accumulate data on target objects and their appearance features, recognize words or phrases from the occupant's speech, extract target object candidates, and output them in the vehicle's cabin. The system aims to enhance the occupant's interaction with the environment outside the vehicle by providing information on target objects that may be of interest.
Furthermore, the patent also includes a target object recognizing method and an information providing system that communicates with a vehicle to acquire position, direction, audio, and images from inside the cabin. The system comprises a speech recognition unit, a gesture recognition unit, a region estimation unit, a database storing target object information, and a candidate target object acquisition unit. This system is designed to recognize appearance features from the occupant's speech, gestures indicating direction, estimate the indicated region on the ground, retrieve target object candidates from the database based on the recognized features, and provide information about the candidate target object to the vehicle. The system's goal is to improve the occupant's experience by offering relevant information about target objects based on their appearance features and gestures.
