Object detection system and method of estimating object size
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A detection system for detecting a size dimension of an object, said system comprising:
- a sensor for sensing an object in a field of view and measuring range to the object and determining range rate of the object; and
a controller for estimating a size dimension of the object as a function of the range and range rate, wherein the controller estimates the size dimension absent an azimuth angle measurement of the object.

Abstract
A collision detection system and method of estimating a miss distance of an object and estimating length and width of the object are provided. The collision detection system includes a sensor for sensing an object within a field of view and measuring range and range rate of the sensed object. The collision detection system further includes a controller for estimating a miss distance of the object and further estimating length and width of the object as a function of the range and the range rate.

13. A method of estimating a size dimension of an object, said method comprising the steps of:
-
sensing the presence of an object;
tracking the object;
measuring range to the object;
determining range rate of the object; and
estimating a size dimension of the object as a function of the range and range rate, wherein the estimation of the size dimension is computed absent an azimuth angle measurement of the object. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
