SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING IMPROPER SENSOR INSTALLATION WITHIN A VEHICLE TO MITIGATE HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH OBJECT DETECTION
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a current object position module configured to determine a first position of an object with respect to a position of a vehicle based upon sensor data generated by at least a first object detection sensor of a plurality of object detection sensors disposed within the vehicle and determines a second position of the object with respect to the position of the vehicle based upon sensor data generated by a second object detection sensor of the plurality of object detection sensors;
an expected object position module configured to determine an expected position of the object with respect to the position of the vehicle based upon at least the first position of the object; and
an object position comparison module configured to determine whether at least one object detection sensor of the plurality of object detection sensors is improperly installed within the vehicle based upon comparing at least the second position of the object with the expected position of the object.

Abstract
A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a current object position module, an expected position module, and an object position comparison module. The current object position module can determine a first position of an object with respect to a position of a vehicle based upon sensor data generated by a first object detection sensor within the vehicle and determines a second position of the object with respect to the position of the vehicle based upon sensor data generated by a second object detection sensor. The expected object position module can determine an expected position of the object with respect to the position of the vehicle based upon the first position of the object. The object position comparison module can determine whether at least one object detection sensor is improperly installed within the vehicle based upon comparing the second position of the object with the expected position.
