SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING SURPRISING EVENTS IN VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A surprising event detection system for a vehicle having a driver assistance system that controls lateral and/or longitudinal movement of the vehicle, comprising:
- an event detector comprising a set of rules defining a surprising event based on a combination of at least two input signals;
an event data file generator configured to generate an event data file comprising;
a video signal received from a camera;
a signal from at least one dynamic vehicle sensor; and
object information received from an object detection sensor,wherein the event data file generator is further configured to initiate event data file generation responsive to a surprising event being detected by the event generator; and
a fusion and control module configured to periodically export event data to a server.

Abstract
A driver assistance system is presented, including an event detector which comprises a set of rules defining a surprising event based on signals reflecting a vehicle operator input signals from an object detection sensor. An event data file generator is configured to generate an event data file according to rules comprised in the event detector, the event data file comprising a video signal received from a camera, a signal from at least one dynamic vehicle sensor, and target object information received from the object detection sensor. The event data file generator is further configured to initiate data file generation responsive to a surprising event being detected by the event generator, and wherein the contents of the data file are specified by the rules comprised in the event detector. In this way, surprising events may be collected and analyzed off-board in order to generate updates for the driver assistance system.

16. A method for detecting surprising events in a vehicle having a driver assistance system that controls lateral and/or longitudinal movement of the vehicle, comprising:
-
receiving signal data from one or more onboard vehicle sensors and one or more object identification sensors; receiving video data from one or more video cameras; storing the signal data and the video data in an event data buffer; identifying a surprising event from the received signal data based on surprise event rules stored at an event detector; deriving an event data file for the surprising event based on the surprise event rules; uploading the event data file to a server; receiving an update module from the server, comprising updated surprise event rules; and applying the update module to change the surprise event rules. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
