METHOD AND SYSTEM TO IMPROVE SENSOR ACCURACY FOR ADAS SYSTEMS USING GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for an ego vehicle including an Advanced Driving Assistance System (“
- an ADAS system”
), the method comprising;
determining, based on Global Positioning System data (“
GPS data”
), whether the ego vehicle is located in a geographical region where local sensor data or remote sensor data is more accurate;
retrieving a set of sensor data from a non-transitory memory, wherein the set of sensor data consists of the more accurate of the local sensor data and the remote sensor data;
inputting the set of sensor data to the ADAS system; and
executing the ADAS system so that the ADAS system provides its functionality based on the set of sensor data that consists of the more accurate of the local sensor data and the remote sensor data.

Abstract
The disclosure includes embodiments for estimating whether local sensor data or remote sensor data is more accurate for a given geographical location of an ego vehicle. A method may include determining, based on Global Positioning System data (“GPS data”), whether the ego vehicle is located in a geographical region where local sensor data or remote sensor data is more accurate. The method may include retrieving a set of sensor data from a non-transitory memory. The set of sensor data may consist of the more accurate of the local sensor data and the remote sensor data. The method may include inputting the set of sensor data to the ADAS system. The method may include executing the ADAS system so that the ADAS system provides its functionality based on the set of sensor data that consists of the more accurate of the local sensor data and the remote sensor data.

9. A system including an ego vehicle, the ego vehicle comprising:
-
an ADAS system; and an onboard vehicle computer system that is communicatively coupled to the ADAS system, the onboard vehicle computer system including a non-transitory memory storing computer code which, when executed by the onboard vehicle computer system causes the onboard vehicle computer system to; determine, based on GPS data describing a geographical location of the ego vehicle, whether the ego vehicle is located in a geographical region where local sensor data or remote sensor data is more accurate; retrieving a set of sensor data from the non-transitory memory, wherein the set of sensor data consists of the more accurate of the local sensor data and the remote sensor data; inputting the set of sensor data to the ADAS system; and executing the ADAS system so that the ADAS system provides its functionality based on the set of sensor data that consists of the more accurate of the local sensor data and the remote sensor data. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory memory of an onboard vehicle computer system of an ego vehicle storing computer-executable code that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
-
determine, based on GPS data describing a geographical location of the ego vehicle, whether the ego vehicle is located in a geographical region where local sensor data or remote sensor data is more accurate; retrieving a set of sensor data from the non-transitory memory, wherein the set of sensor data consists of the more accurate of the local sensor data and the remote sensor data; input the set of sensor data to an ADAS system of the ego vehicle; and executing the ADAS system so that the ADAS system provides its functionality based on the set of sensor data that consists of the more accurate of the local sensor data and the remote sensor data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
