Object Detection Using Radar And Vision Defined Image Detection Zone

The invention provides object detection using a radar and vision defined image detection zone. An object-detection system includes a radar sensor, a camera, and a controller. The radar-sensor is suitable for mounting on a vehicle and is used to detect a radar-signal reflected by an object in a radar-field-of-view. The radar-signal is indicative of a range, range-rate, and a direction to the object relative to the vehicle. The camera is used to capture an image of a camera-field-of-view that overlaps the radar-field-of-view. The controller is in communication with the radar-sensor and the camera. The controller is configured to determine a range-map for the image based on the range and the direction of the radar detection, define a detection-zone in the image based on the range-map, and process only the detection-zone of the image to determine an identity of the object. 本发明涉及使用雷达和视觉定义的图像检测区域的对象检测。种对象检测系统包括雷达传感器、相机以及控制器。雷达传感器适合于安装在车辆上并且用于检测由雷达视场中的对象所反射的雷达信号。雷达信号指示对象相对于车辆的距离、距离变化率和方向。相机用于捕获与雷达视场重叠的相机视场的图像。控制器与雷达
