Method for detecting stationary object on road
First Claim
1. A method for detecting a stationary object located above a road by using a camera system and a radar system wherein, when it is determined that a target captured by a camera and a target captured by a radar are the same target, and when it is determined from an image captured by the camera that the target is at a height higher than the horison level, the method determines that the target is a stationary object located above the road.

Abstract
A method for detecting a target located above a road by using a camera and a radar system, wherein when it is determined that the target captured by the camera is the same target that has been captured by the radar, and when it is determined from an image captured by the camera that the target is at a height higher than road level, the method determines that the target is a stationary object located above the road. Further, when it is determined that the distance to the target captured by the camera or the radar is decreasing, and that the reception level from the target captured by the radar is also decreasing, the method determines that the target is a stationary object located above the road.
