Identical object determination method and apparatus and displacement correction method and apparatus
First Claim
1. An identical object determination method of determining whether or not objects detected by a plurality of sensors are identical, the identical object determination method comprising:
- a first step for determining a relative position and relative speed of each of the detected objects;
a second step for determining a position error of each of the detected objects based on the determined positions and calculating a first probability as a probability that the detected objects are identical with respect to the position from the determined position error based on a normal distribution concerning the position error when the plurality of sensors detect the identical object;
a third step for determining a speed error of each of the detected objects based on the determined speed and calculating a second probability as a probability that the detected objects are identical with respect to the speed from the determined speed error based on a normal distribution concerning the speed error when the plurality of sensors detect the identical object;
a fourth step for calculating a third probability as a probability that the detected objects are identical based on the calculated first probability and the calculated second probability; and
a fifth step for determining that the detected objects are identical if the third probability exceeds a first determination value.

-
a first step for determining a relative position and relative speed of each of the detected objects; and
a second step for determining a position error of each of the detected objects based on the determined positions, comparing the determined position error with a first determination value, determining a speed error of each of the detected objects based on the determined speed, and comparing the determined speed error with a second determination value, thereby separating the detected objects into the identical object and different objects. - View Dependent Claims (19, 21)
