SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY FOCUSING VEHICLE SENSORS
First Claim
1. A method for dynamically prioritizing target areas to monitor around a vehicle, comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a location, heading and attitude of the vehicle and a path the vehicle is traveling upon;
prioritizing, by the processor, target areas based upon the determined location, heading, attitude and path; and
analyzing, by the processor, data from at least one sensor based upon the prioritizing.

Abstract
Methods and systems for dynamically prioritizing target areas to monitor around a vehicle are provided. The system, for example, may include, but is not limited to a sensor, a global positioning system receiver, and a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor and the global positioning system receiver. The processor is configured to determine a location of the vehicle and based upon data from the global positioning system receiver, determine a projected path the vehicle is traveling upon, prioritize target areas based upon the determined location, heading and the projected path, and analyze data from the sensor based upon the prioritized target areas.

10. A vehicle, comprising:
-
a sensor; a source of global positioning system data; and a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor and the source of global positioning system data, wherein the processor is configured to; determine a location, heading and attitude of the vehicle and based upon data from the source of global positioning system data; determine a projected path the vehicle is traveling upon; prioritize target areas based upon the determined location, heading, attitude and the projected path; and analyze data from the sensor based upon the prioritized target areas. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
