20130329651 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER FOR V2X COMMUNICATION - A technique for controlling power for V2X communication is provided. The apparatus includes a reception message analysis process configured to analyze headers of reception messages received from communication apparatuses of roadside apparatuses and surrounding vehicles located around a vehicle, a message loss checking process configured to check whether or not loss of the reception messages occurs by counting sequential numbers included in the headers of the reception messages, a density analysis process configured to analyze a density for each of communication apparatuses located in a communication radius of preset transmission power from the vehicle when the message loss checking process determines that the loss of the reception messages occurs, and a transmission power determination process configured to determine transmission power for V2X communication by deducting the preset transmission power in units of reference power according to the density when the density around the vehicle exceeds a reference value. | 12-12-2013 |
20140188322 | DRIVING MODE CHANGING METHOD AND APPARATUS OF AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION VEHICLE - A driving mode changing method and apparatus of an autonomous navigation vehicle that allows a driver to stably operate the autonomous navigation vehicle. The autonomous navigation vehicle may be stably operated by mounting an apparatus (a touch pad, a joystick, or the like) to operate the autonomous navigation vehicle on seats (a passenger seat and a rear seat) other than a driver seat of the autonomous navigation vehicle and providing various information (a near around view, a far around view, a critical level, vehicle information, and the like) to drive the autonomous navigation vehicle. | 07-03-2014 |
20150098076 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING VEHICLE - An apparatus and method for recognizing a vehicle. The apparatus includes a sensor configured to provide point cloud data corresponding to a front object detected by using a LiDAR; a shape determiner configured to determines a shape corresponding to the front object by analyzing the point cloud data provided by the sensor; a receiving sensitivity analyzer configured to analyze a receiving sensitivity change corresponding to each point of the point cloud data provided by the sensor based on the shape of the vehicle; a decider configured to decide whether the front object is a vehicle according to the shape corresponding to the front object and the receiving sensitivity change corresponding to points of the point cloud; and a detector configured to recognize and detect the front object as the vehicle based on the result decided by the decider. | 04-09-2015 |
20150103331 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COMPENSATING FOR BEAM ANGLE OF MULTI-LAYER LiDAR - An apparatus for compensating for a beam angle of a multi-layer LiDAR includes: a beam angle calculation unit configured to calculate a distance d calculated by using ground data detected by a ground data detection unit and a beam angle of the multi-layer LiDAR by using a mounting height of the multi-layer LiDAR stored in a storage unit. When the beam angle calculated by a beam angle calculation unit is in a threshold range, a beam angle selection unit selects the calculated beam angle as the beam angle, when a beam angle compensation unit compensates for the initial beam angle by using the beam angle selected by the beam angle selection unit | 04-16-2015 |
20150120146 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING MONITORING AREA OF REMOTE MONITOR - An apparatus for adjusting a monitoring area of a remote monitor according to the present disclosure comprises a storage for storing a viewing angle and an irradiation angle of the remote monitor depending on a type of a road. A road determiner determines the type of the road on which a vehicle drives. A controller searches the viewing angle and the irradiation angle corresponding to the type of the road determined by the road determiner in the storage. A viewing angle adjuster sets the viewing angle searched by the controller as a reference viewing angle. An irradiation angle adjuster sets the irradiation angle searched by the controller as a reference irradiation angle. | 04-30-2015 |
20150158489 | METHOD FOR OBJECT PROCESSING AND VEHICLE SUPPORTING THE SAME - A vehicle for supporting an object processing includes a lidar sensor configured to collect multi-layer data corresponding to sensor information for a lateral surface for each vertical interval. A controller is configured to classify objects by clustering each layer for the multi-layer data, extract contours and shapes of the objects, and then control a convergence of the objects based on a calculated value of a Mahalanobis distance between the clustered objects, and a method for an object processing. | 06-11-2015 |
20150378015 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SELF-LOCALIZATION OF VEHICLE - An apparatus for a self localization of a vehicle includes a sensor unit, a landmark detector, a landmark recognizer, and a location estimator. The sensor includes at least two sensors and is configured to measure information on environment around the vehicle using each of the at least two sensors. The landmark detector is configured to detect landmark information based on data measured by each sensor. The landmark recognizer is configured to selectively combine landmark information detected based on data measurement of at least one of the at least two sensors to recognize a landmark and reflect fused landmark information to update a probability distribution. The location estimator is configured to use the probability distribution updated by the landmark recognizer to estimate a self location of the vehicle. | 12-31-2015 |
