Automobile blind area detection device based on ultrasonic array
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent driving, in particular to an automobile blind area detection device based on an ultrasonic array.
Background
With the progress of information technology, the combination of the sensor and the intelligent processing technology enables people to judge surrounding conditions in time, and effective reference is provided for people to process problems. In the process of automobile driving, because the rearview mirror has a certain visual blind area, when a vehicle runs in the blind area range, a person driving the vehicle cannot know whether the vehicle is on the side in advance; if the vehicle in the blind area can not be found in time, when lanes need to be replaced under other conditions and the front vehicle is avoided to turn, problems can occur.
Meanwhile, some drivers have bad driving habits and can run parallel to vehicles in adjacent lanes and are in the vision blind areas of nearby vehicles, and serious risks are brought to safe driving. In order to enable a driver to have enough understanding of the side blind area condition, the blind area can be detected by using ultrasonic waves, and when a vehicle is found to be in the blind area, sound and light alarm reminding is given out when the vehicle turns, so that reliable reference is provided for safe driving.
However, the conventional ultrasonic detection has the following problems:
(1) the detection capability and the accuracy degree of the ultrasonic detection on the automobile blind area obstacles are insufficient;
(2) the ultrasonic detection device is difficult to be effectively combined with the vehicle, namely, the ultrasonic detection device cannot quickly and effectively detect when the vehicle changes lanes or turns;
(3) the range of the ultrasonic detection device for detecting the blind area of the automobile is narrow.
