Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for controlling personal protection means according to the preamble of the independent claims.
- the inventive method for controlling personal protection devices or the inventive device for controlling personal protection means have the advantage that the application of the class boundaries is not limited to one, two or the three-dimensional feature space. In particular, dependencies of the features in rooms larger than the third dimension can be used.
- the class membership is determined by a linear combination of a nonlinear function with feature values.
- the invented The method according to the invention preferably uses a so-called support vector machine (SVM). This is well founded by the statistical learning theory.
- SVM support vector machine
- the determination of the class boundaries is given by an analytically solvable optimization problem, so that this process can be performed automatically without additional expert knowledge from a computing machine, in particular an evaluation circuit, which can be designed as a microcontroller.
- a computing machine in particular an evaluation circuit, which can be designed as a microcontroller.
- the classification quality of the method according to the invention is very high. Due to the setting in class boundary finding, the method according to the invention allows additional free space to be used.
- the inventive method has a high generalization ability. Ie. there is no danger that the decision-making process will be optimized too much for the data record (training data record) used during the application and therefore offers a poor classification performance for previously unknown data not contained in the training data set.
- the feature vector is at least two-dimensional according to the independent patent claims.
- the feature vector is compared with the class boundary. If this is within a corresponding class, then the feature vector is assigned to this class.
- the accident sensor system can contain several accident sensors, including different types.
- the interface to the accident sensors can be implemented in terms of hardware or software.
- a software executed interface on the evaluation in particular a microcontroller, be present.
- other processors or ASICs can serve as an evaluation circuit.
- the drive circuit can also be present as an integrated circuit in a control device for controlling personal protection devices.
- the device can be arranged as a control device for controlling personal protection means or integrated in a control device for controlling safety means.
- the last control unit can namely also drive a vehicle dynamics control.
- the class boundary or limits can already be determined in advance.
- a data-oriented modeling method of a support vector machine can be used. This method is, for example, from Bernhard Schölkopf and Alex Smole: Learning with Kernels, MIT
- the class boundary is loaded from a memory.
- the class boundary is determined by means of at least one training vector and by means of a kernel function. This special
- Training vector is in the support vector machine a so-called support vector, which is shown below, to specific solutions in a constraint for determining the minimum of a function.
- support vector For the determination of the solution, it is necessary to have the features such that they can be separated with a simple class boundary in the form of a straight line, or with higher-dimensional input data of a hyperplane (ie linear in both cases).
- the kernel function implicitly allows the features to be brought into such a linearly separable representation without having to perform this step explicitly and thus with a high computational effort.
- This method of the support vector machine provides an efficient and well reproducible way to design a driving algorithm. In particular, this allows complicated classification tasks to be solved.
- the support vector machine method enables expert knowledge, which is necessary in the prior art solutions, to be minimized or even eliminated altogether. This also makes an algorithm easier to understand and interpret.
- the resource requirement for displaying the class boundary (characteristic curve) is reduced and the application effort is reduced.
- the classification is carried out in binary form. This is easy to implement and, by using a tree structure, allows for a grading with a successive refinement. In each case, binary classifiers are provided at the branches. Thus, it is then possible to realize complicated classification problems by modular assembly of such binary classifiers. By omitting unneeded binary classifiers within the tree, the inventive method or device according to the invention can be simplified to a meaningful level. In extreme cases, it is then reduced to a simple binary classifier.
- one tree can for example determine the crash severity and the other tree regardless of the crash type. This can then be reconnected later to find the right drive.
- Airbags If both trees use simple single binary classifiers, which only know the classes Fire and NoFire respectively, a different control of the restraining means can nevertheless be realized in this way.
- the activation of the retaining means thus takes place on the basis of the accident situation determined by the classifier. For example, with a simple classifier Fire / NoFire, the drive signal, upon detection of the Fire class, causes the immediate activation of an associated personal protection device.
- the drive signal uses z. B. the information about the crash type and the crash severity together. For this purpose, in a special table for each combination of these two size a specific set of personal protection deposited, which is then activated.
- z. B. the information about the crash type and the crash severity together.
- a specific set of personal protection deposited which is then activated.
- a feature vector measured by measurement belongs to an event of that class.
- the method according to the invention and in particular the support vector machine algorithm can be used in an advantageous manner.
- the quality or sensitivity can then typically be set via a parameter V.
- a misuse recognition system can be set up. Ie. all feature vectors that are outside this class are trigger cases.
- a regression can be used to generate a continuous value for the classification.
- This is particularly advantageous in the case of a classification which describes a steady increase of a certain property, for example when the class describes crash severity or crash speeds.
- the advantage here is that in such a case the output of the system consists not only of the discrete numerical values but of a real numerical value of a continuous range of values.
- the corresponding methods are also described in Schölkopf et al. as described above.
- the numerical value (s) can then be Therefore, tables are assigned to a specific activation pattern of personal protective equipment.

This may be, for example, the mean of the sensor data, the variance or higher moments, the first integral, the second integral, the coefficients of a wavelet decomposition, a Fourier decomposition, the index values of a codebook, if a vector quantization is applied to the input data within the block applies. Likewise, the coefficients of a polynomial regression can be determined.
- the one or more selected feature quantities can be determined in one step at the time of the end of the block or can also be determined continuously or recursively with the arrival of the data, ie the signal.
- the block length T may also contain appropriately processed data from various sensors with optionally different sensing principles. If different blocks are used, these blocks may also overlap or be separated in time.
- the use of a feature vector allows features of the feature vector to be formed from signals from different sensors. This allows a comprehensive description of the accident event.

- the SVM algorithm is, in the simplest case, able to perform a binary classification, ie to assign an unknown data vector to one of the two classes on the basis of a training data set of data vectors. Since the two classes are not necessarily separable by a simple class boundary in the form of a straight line, or in the case of higher-dimensional input data, a hyperplane (ie linear in both cases), they would have to be mapped into a higher-dimensional feature space by a transformation. where possible. In the original space, in turn, this separating hyperplane would correspond to a nonlinear separation surface.
- the SVM algorithm With the aid of a kernel function, the SVM algorithm now allows to calculate this separation surface without first performing the mapping into the feature space. This significantly reduces the demands on the computing power, makes the implementation of the classification technically possible in many cases (above all those with a high-dimensional feature space). Since the non-linear separation surface in the input data space can in each case be traced back to a linear one in the feature space, the generalizability of the classification method can be set well.
- Each of the 1 feature vectors Xj of a training data set can be combined with the class information yj to form a data pair z ⁇ .
- the two classes are assigned the values +1 and -1, where z. For example, + l can mean Fire crash and -1 can be NoFire crash.
- the normalized edge can be expressed as
- the scalar product ( ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ )) can be replaced by a so-called kernel function k ( xj , xp), which yields the same result, thus leaving out the projection into the higher-dimensional space
- the solution is calculated directly in the lower dimensional input space, which is called a "core trick.”
