Light detecting and ranging system's atmospheric influences reducing method for driver assistant system for detecting pedestrian in surrounding of motor vehicle, involves determining whether object is stationary object or movable object

摘要

The method involves transmitting radiation impulses by a light detecting and ranging (lidar) system, and detecting and evaluating the impulses reflected from the object. Characteristics e.g. position and size, of the object are detected, and temporary changes of a movement pattern are detected. A determination is made that whether the detected object is a stationary object or a movable object based on the changes of the movement pattern. The detected movement pattern is compared with a movement pattern stored in memory of the lidar system for detecting and/or classifying the object. An independent claim is also included for a device for reducing atmospheric influences of a light detecting and ranging (lidar) system comprising a memory for storing a movement pattern of an object.
