Object recognition and following system for use in road vehicle has laser scanner connected to data processing computer selecting image points chosen for speed and height above ground

摘要

The vehicle (10) has a laser scanner (12) mounted e.g. at one end. It produces a narrow beam (20) which may be scanned over a wide area (14). The vehicle carries a data processing computer (45) which evaluates reflected signals. The object (70-100) may be divided up into several scanned boxes, which are used in the signal recognition system. Various image points (22-44) are chosen.
