Description
Die
vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung für ein Fahrzeug.
Solche Fahrerassistenzvorrichtungen sind allgemein bekannt. Beispielsweise
ist aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung für ein Fahrzeug zu schaffen, bei der mit einfachen und kostengünstig bereitstellbaren Mitteln die Funktion erzielbar ist, dass dem Fahrer effizient und mit möglichst geringer Informationsüberflutung ein Hinweis auf die wichtigen und sicherheitskritischen Informationen im Umfeld des Fahrzeugs gegeben wird.task The present invention is a driver assistance device for a To create a vehicle with easy and inexpensive to deploy Means the function is achievable that the driver efficiently and with as possible little information overload an indication of the important and safety-critical information is given in the environment of the vehicle.
Die Aufgabe wird von einer Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung für ein Fahrzeug gelöst, wobei der Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung zwei Sensoren zur Sensierung der Umgebung des Fahrzeugs zugeordnet sind, wobei die Sensoren eine unterschiedliche Auflösung aufweisen. Hierdurch ist es erfindungsgemäß vorteilhaft möglich, dass eine erheblich bessere Funktionsweise der Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung durch die Auswertung von zwei Sensoren ermöglicht wird. Die erfindungsgemäße Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung ist darüber hinaus auch noch vergleichsweise kostengünstig herstellbar, weil die Auflösung eines der Sensoren vergleichsweise gering gewählt werden kann. Bevorzugt sind die wenigstens zwei Sensoren zur Sensierung in unterschiedlichen Spektralbereichen vorgesehen, so dass es erfindungsgemäß vorteilhaft möglich ist, mehr in der Umgebung des Fahrzeugs eigentlich vorhandene Informationen auszuwerten, um so zu eine genaueren Informationsgrundlage entweder zur Auswertung durch die Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung oder aber zur Information des Fahrers zu gelangen. Bevorzugt ist insbesondere, dass der erste Sensor zur Sensierung im Bereich des sichtbaren Lichts vorgesehen ist und dass der zweite Sensor zur Sensierung im Bereich des infraroten Lichts, bevorzugt im Bereich des fernen Infrarotbereich (FIR, far infrared), vorgesehen ist. Alternativ dazu ist es selbstverständlich möglich, dass der zweite Sensor im nahen infraroten Bereich oder auch sowohl im nahen als auch im fernen infraroten Bereich empfindlich ist. Weiterhin alternativ dazu ist es möglich, dass der erste Sensor sowohl im sichtbaren Bereich des Spektrums als auch im nahen infraroten Bereich empfindlich ist. Es ist auf diese Weise auch möglich, dass es einen gewissen Überlappungsbereich der sensierten Spektralbereiche der beiden Sensoren gibt. Erfindungsgemäß ist jedoch auch möglich, dass sich die detektierten Spektralbereiche nicht überlappen. Vorteilhaft an einer mittels der wenigstens zwei Sensoren möglichen gleichzeitigen Sensierung im sichtbaren und im infraroten Spektralbereich ist es, dass es dadurch möglich ist, eine erheblich größere Menge an Information der Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung bzw. dem Fahrer zugänglich zu machen, was nicht zuletzt die Sicherheit für Insassen des Fahrzeugs als auch für andere Verkehrsteilnehmer erhöht. Mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen ist es vorteilhaft möglich, dass eine besondere genaue und alle möglichen Informationskanäle bzw. Spektralbereiche berücksichtigende Sensierung erfolgt. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist der Einsatz der Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung bei Nacht, wo die Auswertung von Infrarotsignalen, etwa ausgesandt von neben der Fahrbahn sich bewegenden Fußgängern oder auch von Tieren, einen besonderen Gewinn an für den Fahrer in einer normalen Situation ohne Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung nicht zugänglichen Information bedeutet.The Task is a driver assistance device for a vehicle solved, wherein the driver assistance device has two sensors for sensing associated with the environment of the vehicle, the sensors having a have different resolution. This makes it advantageous according to the invention possible, that a significantly better operation of the driver assistance device is enabled by the evaluation of two sensors. The driver assistance device according to the invention is about it In addition, even comparatively inexpensive to produce, because the resolution one of the sensors can be chosen comparatively small. Prefers are the at least two sensors for sensing in different Provided spectral ranges, so that it is advantageous according to the invention possible is more information actually present in the environment of the vehicle so as to provide a more accurate information base for either Evaluation by the driver assistance device or for information to get to the driver. In particular, it is preferred that the first Sensor provided for sensing in the visible light range is and that the second sensor for sensing in the infrared Light, preferably in the range of the far infrared range (FIR, far infrared) is provided. Alternatively, it is of course possible that the second sensor in the near infrared range or both in the near as well as in the far infrared range. Farther alternatively it is possible that the first sensor is both in the visible range of the spectrum as well as in the near infrared range is sensitive. It is open this way also possible that there is a certain overlap area the sensed spectral ranges of the two sensors. However, according to the invention also possible, that the detected spectral ranges do not overlap. Advantageous to one by means of at least two sensors possible simultaneous sensing in the visible and in the infrared spectral range is it that makes it possible is, a considerably larger amount Information the driver assistance device or the driver accessible to what, last but not least, is the safety for occupants of the vehicle also for other road users increased. By means of the measures according to the invention it is advantageously possible that a particular accurate and all possible information channels or Considering spectral ranges Sensation takes place. Very particularly preferred is the use of Driver assistance device at night, where the evaluation of infrared signals, sent out by pedestrians moving next to the roadway or also of animals, a special gain for the driver in a normal Situation without driver assistance device not accessible Information means.
Bevorzugt ist insbesondere, dass der zweite Sensor eine geringere Auflösung aufweist als der erste Sensor. Hierdurch ist der zweite Sensor besonders kostengünstig herstellbar.Prefers is in particular that the second sensor has a lower resolution as the first sensor. This makes the second sensor special economical produced.
Erfindunsgemäß ist ferner bevorzugt, dass der Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung eine Anzeigeeinrichtung zugeordnet ist. Hierdurch ist es mit einfachen Mitteln möglich, die über die Sensoren gewonnene Information für einen Fahrer zugänglich darzustellen. Hierbei kann die Anzeigeeinrichtung erfindungsgemäß im Bereich der Frontscheibe und/oder im Bereich des Cockpits des Fahrzeugs und/oder im Bereich der Mittelkonsole des Fahrzeugs vorgesehen sein. Wenn die Anzeige an mehreren Stellen vorgesehen ist, handelt es sich selbstverständlich insbesondere um zwei verschiedene Anzeigeeinrichtungen, wobei jedoch in diesem Fall die Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung Informationen für beide diese Anzeigeeinrichtungen liefert. Durch die Wahl dieser erfindungsgemäß bevorzugten Orte für die Anzeigeeinrichtung ist es besonders effizient möglich, den Fahrer oder generell einen Benutzer der Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung über kritische Fahrzustände oder Situationen zu informieren. Im Bereich der Frontscheibe ist die Anzeigeeinrichtung bevorzugt als eine Kopf-hoch-Anzeige (Head-up-Display) vorgesehen. Hierdurch kann der Fahrer vorteilhafterweise ohne Kopfdrehung und Abwendung seiner Aufmerksamkeit vom Verkehrsgeschehen informiert werden. Hierdurch ist es in besonderer Weise vorteilhaft möglich, dass die Aufmerksamkeit des Fahrers in die richtige Richtung gelenkt wird. Hierdurch kann weiterhin vorteilhaft eine Projektion der darzustellenden Information in den Bereich der Frontscheibe bzw. in einen Bereich vom Fahrer aus gesehen hinter der Frontscheibe (virtuelles Bild) möglich werden, so dass besonders genau lokalisiert die darzustellende Information darstellbar ist.Erfindunsgemäß is further preferred that the driver assistance device is associated with a display device. As a result, it is possible by simple means to present the information obtained via the sensors accessible to a driver. In this case, the display device can be provided according to the invention in the region of the windshield and / or in the region of the cockpit of the vehicle and / or in the region of the center console of the vehicle. Of course, when the display is provided at multiple locations, it is, in particular, two different display devices, but in this case the driver assistance device provides information for both of these display devices. By choosing these preferred locations for the display device according to the invention, it is particularly efficiently possible to inform the driver or, in general, a user of the driver assistance device about critical driving conditions or situations. In the area of the windshield, the display device is preferably provided as a head-up display (head-up display). As a result, the driver can advantageously be informed of the traffic situation without turning his head and averting his attention. This makes it possible in a special way advantageous that the driver's attention is directed in the right direction. In this way, furthermore, a projection of the information to be displayed into the area of the windshield or into a region viewed from the driver behind the windshield (virtual image) can advantageously be made possible, so that the information to be displayed can be represented particularly accurately localized.
Erfindungsgemäß ist ferner bevorzugt, dass die Anzeigeeinrichtung zur Anzeige einer Aufmerksamkeitsinformation und/oder zur Anzeige einer bildlichen Darstellung zumindest eines Teils der Umgebung des Fahrzeugs vorgesehen ist. Unter einer Aufmerksamkeitsinformation wird im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Darstellung verstanden, welche keine Bildinformationen im Sinne eines realen, beispielsweise von einer Kamera aufgenommenen, Bildes ist. Bei einer Aufmerksamkeitsinformation im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Leuchtmarkierung, ein Leuchtpunkt bzw. ein Leuchtbalken oder auch eine cartoonartige Darstellung handeln. Unter einer bildlichen Darstellung wird im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Darstellung verstanden, welche die Bildinformation im wesentlichen in der Form, wie sie von einer Kamera oder einem Sensor aufgenommen wird, darstellen, d.h. etwa mit verschiedenen, von den Sensoren bzw. Kameras detektierten Intensitätswerten innerhalb des Bildes. Hierbei kann die bildliche Darstellung und die Aufmerksamkeitsinformation beispielsweise überlagert dargestellt werden. Durch die Anzeige der Aufmerksamkeitsinformation bzw. der bildlichen Darstellung ist es vorteilhaft möglich, dass die Information besonders genau dargestellt werden kann. Insbesondere ist es vorteilhaft möglich, dass bei einer Falschfarbendarstellung insbesondere des vom zweiten Sensor (bzw.The invention is further preferred that the display device for displaying attention information and / or for displaying a pictorial representation of at least one Part of the environment of the vehicle is provided. Under an attention information is understood in the context of the present invention a representation, which does not contain image information in the sense of a real, for example is a picture taken by a camera. For attention information For the purposes of the present invention may be, for example around a luminous marker, a luminous dot or a lightbar or act a cartoon-like representation. Under a pictorial representation is understood in the context of the present invention a representation, which the image information is essentially in the form as they are taken by a camera or a sensor, i.e. about with different, detected by the sensors or cameras intensity values within the picture. Here, the pictorial representation and For example, the attention information may be superimposed. By displaying the attention information or the pictorial Representation, it is advantageously possible that the information can be presented very accurately. Especially it is advantageously possible that in a false color representation in particular of the second Sensor (resp.
Kamera) ausgehenden Infrarotsensor-Signals eine bunte (also farbige) Darstellung der Anzeige der Sensorsignale erfolgt.Camera) Outgoing infrared sensor signal a colorful (ie colored) representation the display of the sensor signals takes place.
Ferner ist bevorzugt, dass die Aufmerksamkeitsinformation eine in den Bereich der Frontscheibe projizierte Darstellung ist, insbesondere eine Leuchtmarkierung und/oder eine cartoonartige Darstellung. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass dadurch in besonders augenfälliger und für den Fahrer erkennbaren Weise eine Informationsdarstellung möglich ist, so dass trotz beispielsweise einer Darstellung auf der Frontscheibe des Fahrzeugs keine Informationsüberflutung des Fahrers erfolgt, weil es sich bei der projizierten Darstellung nicht um eine realistische Wiedergabe bzw. ein realistisches Bild des Objekts handelt, dessen Vorhandensein bzw. dessen sicherheitskritische Entfernung zum Fahrzeug mittels der Aufmerksamkeitsinformation dargestellt werden soll.Further it is preferred that the attention information be in the area the front screen is projected representation, in particular one Luminous marking and / or a cartoon-like representation. this has the advantage of being particularly eye-catching and for the driver recognizable way an information representation is possible, so that, for example a representation on the windscreen of the vehicle no information overload the driver takes place because it is in the projected representation not a realistic rendering or a realistic image of the object, its presence or its safety-critical Distance to the vehicle represented by the attention information shall be.
Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, dass zur Extraktion der Aufmerksamkeitsinformation eine Verarbeitung von von einem Sensor der wenigstens zwei Sensoren gelieferten Daten vorgesehen ist oder dass zur Extraktion der Aufmerksamkeitsinformation eine Fusionierung von von den wenigstens zwei Sensoren gelieferten Daten vorgesehen ist. Hierbei ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen dass ein Erkennungsschritt bzw. ein Verarbeitungsschritt durchgeführt wird, bei dem die von den Sensoren bzw. den Kameras aufgenommenen Informationen interpretiert bzw. bewertet werden.Farther It is advantageous to extract the attention information a processing of from a sensor of the at least two sensors provided data or that for the extraction of attention information a fusion of supplied by the at least two sensors Data is provided. In this case, it is provided according to the invention that a recognition step or a processing step is carried out, in which the information recorded by the sensors or the cameras be interpreted or evaluated.
Erfindungsgemäß ist ferner bevorzugt, dass die Aufmerksamkeitsinformation eine Entfernungsinformation umfasst bzw. dass die Aufmerksamkeitsinformation eine Leuchtmarkierung im Umfangsbereich der Frontscheibe ist. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass dem Fahrer weitere wichtige und gegebenenfalls sicherheitsrelevante Informationen, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Entfernung von Objekten, zur Verfügung gestellt werden und weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft möglich, dass in besonders einfacher Weise und besonders kostengünstig eine Anzeigeeinrichtung realisierbar, wobei insbesondere der Randbereich der Darstellung bzw. der Randbereich der Frontscheibe, welche einer besonderen Aufmerksamkeit des Fahrers bedarf, besonders markiert wird.The invention is further preferred that the attention information is a distance information includes or that the attention information is a luminous marker is in the peripheral region of the windscreen. This makes it possible for the Driver further important and possibly safety relevant Information, in particular with regard to the removal of objects, to disposal and continue it is advantageously possible that in a particularly simple manner and particularly inexpensive one Display device realized, in particular the edge region the representation or the edge region of the windscreen, which a requires special attention of the driver, especially marked becomes.
Erfindungsgemäß ist weiterhin bevorzugt, dass die Darstellung der Aufmerksamkeitsinformation im Bereich der Frontscheibe eingeschränkt kontaktanalog vorgesehen ist. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung bedeutet der Begriff der kontaktanalogen Anzeige, dass eine Korrelation vorliegt, zwischen dem Ort der Anzeige und dem Ort auf der Windschutzscheibe bzw. der Frontscheibe, an welchem ein Fahrer des Fahrzeugs einen Bildausschnitt der Umgebung des Fahrzeugs sehen würde. Eine solche Aufmerksamkeitsinformation wird bei einer Darstellung im Bereich der Frontscheibe erfindungsgemäß in eingeschränkt kontaktanaloger Anzeige angezeigt. Dies bedeutet, dass eine gewisse räumliche Korrelation zwischen dem Ort der Darstellung der Aufmerksamkeitsinformation und der Blickrichtung aus der Sicht des Fahrers, dem dem zugrundeliegenden, von der Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung detektierten Objekt, etwa ein Fußgänger, vorliegt, entspricht; erfindungsgemäß liegt jedoch keine 1:1 Überdeckung vor, schon weil es sich bei der Aufmerksamkeitsinformation nicht um ein Bild handelt. Dies hat erfindungsgemäß den Vorteil, dass die Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung besonders leicht und kostengünstig herstellbar ist und darüber hinaus in einem Fahrzeug einen sehr geringen Bauraum benötigt, was weiterhin die Konstruktion des Fahrzeuges erleichtert und Kosten einspart.According to the invention is still preferred that the presentation of attention information in Area of the windscreen limited contact analog provided is. In the context of the present invention, the term means contact-analogue indication that there is a correlation between the location of the ad and the location on the windshield or the Windscreen, on which a driver of the vehicle takes a picture of the Environment of the vehicle would see. Such attention information becomes in a representation in the field of windscreen according to the invention in a limited contact analog Display is displayed. This means that a certain spatial Correlation between the place of presentation of the attention information and the line of vision from the perspective of the driver, the underlying, an object detected by the driver assistance device, such as a Pedestrian, present, corresponds; according to the invention but no 1: 1 coverage before, because it is not in the attention information is a picture. This has the advantage according to the invention that the driver assistance device especially light and inexpensive is manufacturable and above In addition, in a vehicle requires a very small amount of space, which further facilitates the construction of the vehicle and costs saves.
Weiterhin ist erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass der Fahrerassistenzvorrichtung eine Einrichtung zur Ermittlung der Kopfposition und/oder der Augenposition und/oder der Augenbewegung und/oder des Lidschlags des Fahrers zugeordnet ist und dass der Ort der Aufmerksamkeitsinformation und/oder der bildlichen Darstellung abhängig von der Kopfposition des Fahrers ist. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass die Aufmerksamkeitsinformation bzw. die bildliche Darstellung besonders genau positioniert auf der Anzeigeeinrichtung, d.h. beispielsweise in dem Bereich der Frontscheibe, angezeigt wird und dass dadurch eine Informationsüberflutung des Fahrers effizient reduzierbar ist. Die Gefährdung des Benutzers durch Einschlafen ist dadurch in starkem Maße reduzierbar.Furthermore, it is preferably provided according to the invention that the driver assistance device has a device for determining the head position and / or the eye position and / or the eye movement and / or the blink of the driver is assigned and that the location of the attention information and / or the visual representation is dependent on the head position of the driver. This ensures that the attention information or the pictorial representation is positioned particularly accurately positioned on the display device, ie, for example, in the region of the windshield, and that thereby an information overload of the driver is efficiently reduced. The risk to the user by falling asleep is therefore greatly reduced.
