Vehicle object detection and classification verification system
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11972612B2) discloses an object detection and classification verification system for vehicles. The system includes a projection system that projects visible light onto a wall surface in front of the vehicle, perpendicular to the ground surface. A controller communicates with the projection system to verify the performance of an object detection routine by projecting pre-captured 3D scenes with known objects, comparing the results to expected outcomes, and determining if they meet a predetermined threshold metric. The system can adjust the vehicle's position to match the size and distortion of the projected scenes.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for object detection and classification verification in vehicles. The method involves using a projection system to project 3D scenes onto a wall surface, performing object detection routines, comparing results to expected outcomes, and evaluating performance against a predetermined threshold. The method also includes adjusting the vehicle's position to match the size and distortion of the projected scenes. The system can be integrated into the vehicle's headlights or windshield, providing a versatile solution for verifying object detection and classification routines in various settings such as garage walls or vehicle service center walls.
