Application: Method and system for recognizing road surface (Patent ID: US20240059296A1)
The patent filed by Kia Corp describes a road surface recognition method that involves extracting point cloud data from LiDAR, generating a point cloud map, determining a predicted driving route based on vehicle motion data, and creating a road surface height profile. The method includes steps such as transforming point cloud data, determining transformation information, and iteratively processing data per time instant. The system also involves time synchronization of data and estimating height information through interpolation.
The road surface recognition system for a vehicle includes an interface for data communication and a processor that receives point cloud data and motion-related data from a sensing device. The processor extracts point cloud data, generates a point cloud map, determines a predicted driving route, and creates a road surface height profile. The system involves steps such as determining transformation information, sampling points from the point cloud map, estimating height information through interpolation, and removing noise from the road surface height profile. Additionally, the processor performs time synchronization of data and determines the initial location of the vehicle in a coordinate system. The system aims to accurately recognize road surfaces for improved driving assistance and safety.
