Patent Images
1. A method using a 3D camera and radar for a vehicle for detecting an object in an area, the method comprising:
- collecting first measurement data related to the area by a sensor in the 3D camera, using a first sensor setting;
receiving second measurement data related to the area from a radar; and
adjusting the sensor setting of the 3D camera from the first sensor setting to an adjusted second sensor setting based on the second measurement data received from the radar to enable collection of third measurement data related to the area using the adjusted second sensor setting;
collecting the third measurement data related to the area by the sensor in the 3D camera using the adjusted second sensor setting; and
detecting the object based on interpreting of the third measurement data together with the second measurement data received from the radar.

Abstract
A method (400) and a 3D camera (110) for a vehicle for detecting an object (130) in an area (140) for collecting (401) measurement data related to the area (140) by a sensor (310) in the 3D camera (110) using a first sensor setting, in addition, reception (402) of measurement data related to the area (140) from a radar (120), and detection (405) of the object (130) based on interpretation of collected (401) measurement data by the camera together with measurement data received (402) from the radar (120).

8. A 3D camera for a vehicle, arranged for detecting an object in an area, comprising:
-
a sensor arranged and configured to collect first measurement data related to the area using a first sensor setting and to collect second measurement data related to the area using an adjusted second sensor setting; a signal receiver arranged and configured to receive, from a radar, a signal containing third measurement data related to the area; and a processor circuit arranged and configured to detect an object, based on interpretation of the second measurement data together with the third measurement data received from the radar, and to adjust the sensor setting of the 3D camera from the first sensor setting to the adjusted second sensor setting, based on the third measurement data received from the radar, to enable collection of the second measurement data related to the area using the adjusted second sensor setting. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
