OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEM WITH LEARNED POSITION INFORMATION AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An objection detection system for a vehicle comprising:
- a position sensor for sensing position of a host vehicle;
an object detector provided on the host vehicle for detecting the presence of an object relative to the host vehicle and for further detecting position of the detected object relative to the host vehicle;
a controller for processing the sensed position of the host vehicle and determining a current vehicle path as the host vehicle moves, said controller further processing the position of a detected object relative to the host vehicle and determining if the detected object is a stationary object relative to ground;
memory for storing position of the detected stationary object; and
an output for providing an output signal based on the detected stationary object relative to the current vehicle path.

Abstract
An object detection system and method of detecting objects and providing an output signal are provided. The system includes a position sensor for sensing position of a host vehicle, and an object detector provided on the host vehicle for detecting presence of an object relative to the host vehicle and for further detecting position of the detected object relative to the host vehicle. The system also includes a controller for processing the sensed position of the host vehicle and determining a current vehicle path as the host vehicle moves. The controller further processes the position of a detected object relative to the host vehicle and determines if the detected object is a stationary object relative to ground. The system further includes memory for storing the position of the detected stationary object and an output for providing an output signal based on the detected stationary object relative to the current vehicle path.

11. A method of detecting a stationary object relative to a vehicle, said method comprising the steps of:
-
sensing position of a host vehicle; detecting the presence of an object relative to the host vehicle; detecting position of the detected object relative to the host vehicle; determining a current vehicle path as the host vehicle moves; determining if the detected object is a stationary object relative to ground; storing position of the detected stationary object in memory; and providing an output signal based on the detected stationary object relative to the current vehicle path. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
