    摘要: Systems and techniques for sign based localization are provided herein. Sign based localization may be achieved by capturing an image of an operating environment around a vehicle, extracting one or more text candidates from the image, detecting one or more line segments within the image, defining one or more quadrilateral candidates based on one or more of the text candidates, one or more of the line segments, and one or more intersections of respective line segments, determining one or more sign candidates for the image based on one or more of the quadrilateral candidates and one or more of the text candidates, matching one or more of the sign candidates against one or more reference images, and determining a location of the vehicle based on a match between one or more of the sign candidates and one or more of the reference images.

    摘要: A key model identification and feedback system includes a key identification housing, a master key receiving aperture, a master key identifier, a processor in communication with the master key identifier, and a feedback module. The processor is configured to access a database defining a plurality of known key models, compare the physical characteristics of the master key with physical characteristics of the known key models in the database to identify a model of the master key, and communicate the model of the master key to the feedback module coupled to the key identification housing. The feedback module, responsive to the communication from the processor, outputs an indication of the model of the master key and directions to a location remote from the key identification housing where a key blank having the same model of the master key is available for duplicating the master key.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and a device for recognizing a road sign (Hz, Zz) by means of a camera from a traveling vehicle. The method has the following steps: acquiring at least one image of the surroundings of a vehicle by means of the camera, determining the presence of at least one road sign (Hz, Zz) in the at least one acquired image of the surroundings of the vehicle, determining (also estimating) motion blur in that image segment in which the present road sign (Hz, Zz) is situated, subtracting out motion blur in this image segment, which results in a sharpened image segment, and recognizing the road sign (Hz, Zz) while taking account of the sharpened image segment.

    摘要: A method and a camera-based driver assistance system in a subject vehicle uses image processing to automatically recognize dynamic intangible symbols that are projected as light onto the road by another vehicle, and responds in an appropriate manner based on the recognized symbols. For example, advice is given to the driver or signals are transmitted to vehicle devices in order to bring about an appropriate vehicle response, such as an emergency braking action or a distance alert.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for predicting the placement of road signs. A device receives data depicting road signs from multiple vehicles. The device analyzes a detected placement of the road signs and at least one characteristic of a collection of the data. The characteristic describes the road upon which the data was collected, an operation of the vehicle from which the data was collected, or an environment in which the data was collected. The device generates a model that associates values for the detected placement of the road signs with values for the at least one characteristic. The model may be later accessed to interpret subsequent sets of data describing one or more road signs.

    摘要: A driving assistance apparatus includes a sign recognizing unit, a notification executing unit, and a lane change determining unit. The sign recognizing unit recognizes a traffic sign from an image captured by an on-board imaging apparatus. The notification executing unit notifies a driver of information indicated by the traffic sign recognized by the sign recognizing unit. The lane change determining unit determines whether or not an own vehicle is making a lane change. If the lane change determining unit determines that the own vehicle is making a lane change while traveling on a road in which different traffic signs are provided among traffic lanes, the notification executing unit notifies the driver of destination lane information that is information for a traffic lane to which the own vehicle is moving.
