    摘要: Provided are an ultrasonic sensing device and method for a vehicle, which may block ground noise and pass a signal reflected from an opponent vehicle traveling in a blind spot. The ultrasonic sensing device for the vehicle includes a band pass filter configured to filter a first input signal reflected by an object according to a predetermined first bandwidth to output a first filtering signal or filter a second input signal on which a 2N decimation operation has been performed according to a predetermined second bandwidth to output a second filtering signal, and a calculation unit configured to perform the 2N decimation operation on the first filtering signal output from the band pass filter and deliver the first filtering signal on which the 2N decimation operation has been performed to the band pass filter as the second input signal.

    摘要: Provided is a system for controlling a detecting distance of an ultrasonic sensor based on ground recognition. The system includes: an ultrasonic sensor provided in a vehicle and configured to, when driven, recognize an object in front of or behind the vehicle; an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a detection area of the ultrasonic sensor; a ground type recognizer configured to recognize a ground type corresponding to the detecting area of the ultrasonic sensor using the image acquired through the image capturing unit; and a sensing threshold changer configured to, when a travelling speed of the vehicle satisfies a preset condition, change a sensing threshold of the ultrasonic sensor according to the recognized ground type.

    摘要: Provided are an object detection apparatus and method. The object detection apparatus includes an amplifier configured to amplify a reflected ultrasonic wave signal with a variable gain, a gain controller configured to set the variable gain such that the reflected ultrasonic wave signal received in at least one predetermined time zone is amplified with a high gain, compared to in other time zones, a comparator configured to compare a signal on an envelope corresponding to the signal amplified by the amplifier with a predetermined threshold and output the signal on the envelope when the signal is greater than the threshold, a calculator configured to calculate an absolute value of a first-order differential value of the signal on the envelope, and a time at which a maximum of the absolute value of the first-order differential value is calculated, and a detector configured to detect an object using a third time, the third time being a time at which the maximum is calculated, before a second time, the second time being a time at which the signal greater than the threshold is output.

    摘要: Provided are a vehicle ultrasonic parking assistance apparatus including a charge pumping circuit and a method of operating the same. The vehicle ultrasonic parking assistance apparatus changes a transmission output voltage in a voltage driving scheme without using a transformer. By using the charge pumping circuit instead of the transformer so as to boost a voltage, the manufacturing cost is reduced, and a signal is input to the ultrasonic converter at the same voltage as a voltage of when the transformer is used. Also, the charge pumping circuit is provided at a region in which the variable current source was provided, and thus, the manufacturing cost is not additionally expended. Furthermore, since only a conversion of energy by the ultrasonic converter is considered, designing is simplified.
