Adaptive template object classification system with a template generator
First Claim
1. A method of performing object classification within a collision warning and countermeasure system of a vehicle comprising:
- detecting at least one object and generating at least one object detection signal in response to said detection;
generating at least one image detection signal comprising an image representation of said at least one object;
projecting said at least one object detection signal on an image plane in response to said at least one image detection signal to generate at least one fused image reference;
generating at least one candidate template in response to said at least one fused image reference;
validating said at least one candidate template; and
classifying at least one of said at least one object in response to said at least one candidate template.

Abstract
A method of performing object classification within a collision warning and countermeasure system (10) of a vehicle (12) includes the generation of an object detection signal in response to the detection of an object (52). An image detection signal is generated and includes an image representation of the object (52). The object detection signal is projected on an image plane (51) in response to the image detection signal to generate a fused image reference. A candidate template (55) is generated in response to the fused image reference. The candidate template (55) is validated. The object (52) is classified in response to the candidate template (55).
