Abstract
A method and system for calibrating a speed displayed in a vehicle is provided. In one example, a method includes adjusting a determination of vehicle speed responsive to character recognition of an image from an on-board camera of the vehicle, the image including an external speed measurement source (such as a radar speed sign) displaying a speed measurement. The speed displayed in the vehicle may be corrected if the determined vehicle speed is outside of a threshold range generated from the speed measurement displayed on the external speed measurement source.

7. A method comprising:
-
determining a speed of a motor vehicle based in part on output of sensors positioned on-board the vehicle; determining a reference speed of the vehicle based in part on on-board character recognition of a speed measurement source external to the vehicle; and correcting the determined vehicle speed when the determined vehicle speed is outside of a threshold range generated from the determined reference speed. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
an engine configured to propel the vehicle; a plurality of wheels; wheel speed sensors configured to measure a number of revolutions over time of each of the wheels; a camera; a radar system; a speedometer; and a controller storing instructions in non-transitory memory that, when executed, cause the controller to; receive images captured by the camera and determine an external speed measurement in the images using an image recognition module; calculate vehicle speed using a vehicle speed module and output from the wheel speed sensors; and apply a vehicle speed compensation to the vehicle speed module responsive to the calculated vehicle speed being determined as inaccurate to generate a corrected vehicle speed. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
