Obstacle Detection Apparatus and
Method
A technology which is loaded in AVM(Around View Monitoring) system
of a vehicle and perceives obstacles(including pedestrians) around the
vehicle while the vehicle is parking or stopping.
▶ Features of technology
• A technology which is loaded in AVM(Around View Monitoring) system of a
vehicle and perceives obstacles around the vehicle while the vehicle stops or
moves slowly
• Obstruction detection related technology is as follows
- Technology that perceives moving obstacle while the vehicle stops
- Technology that perceives moving obstacle while the vehicle moves
▶ Predominance of technology
• Technical side :
- Unlike existing detecting method, detection ability about target is outstanding
and detection speed is far better than learning based algorithm.
- As a code based on MISRA rule, it can be instantly applied to imbedded
system for vehicle.
• Business side :
- Written in C language for apply to existing AVM system, so code size is smal
and technology can be applied to various systems.

▣ Technology Trend
• Since camera sensor based technology
is able to apply to future multi-
application, almost every companies
are researching and developing.
Sensor fusion technology based new
applications wil appear in the next
few years.
• Camera sensor is affected by weather
condition so it cannot substitute radar
completely. So they realize highly
reliable and improved system by
combining radar.
• AVM system development is
progressing a lot in Korea, but
obstacle detection technology loaded
product is not yet launched.
• Europe, North America, and Japan car
makers are already being mass-
produced, and this systems are
continuously evolving technology.
• Technology is applied to front/back
conflict and col ision, blind spot
obstacle waring and lane
change/keep system.
• Core sensor module and signal
process part technology are superior.
▶ Necessity of alternate technique increase
•
In case of existing AVM(Around View Monitoring) system, it shows vehicle
vicinity through one image which is attained and compounded from 4 camera’s
image. Commercialization is focused on expensive cars.
•
Existing vehicle rear sensing technology using ultrasound sensor and/ vehicle
rear monitoring technology using rear camera cause frequent accidents because
it can’t monitor lateral dangerous situations.
•
Warning to drivers about dangerous situations by detecting vehicle vicinity wil
prevent accidents in advance.
•
Most of the major vendors are currently developing LDWS and BSWS system
based on vision sensor, and these vision system development and operation
ability are expected to be more important elements in future system supply
companies.
•
Instal ation of rear camera wil be a requirement in USA from 2018. Also rear
camera(ex. wireless rear camera, license plate sticking camera) which was top-
sel ing product in the After market in 2015 is easy to use and instal , and market
is composed of low-cost products so low-cost obstacle detection technology is
expected to need.
Recently various Advanced Driver Assistance Systems(ADAS) supporting
convenient and safety drive are attached to vehicles.
