Patent ID: 11958480
Assignee: HITACHI ASTEMO, LTD.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 5:
6. An operation method to be executed by an electronic control device comprising
a sensor information acquisition unit which acquires state quantities including a position of an object to be measured using an output of a plurality of sensors, or calculates the state quantities of the object to be measured by using the output of the plurality of sensors, and
a storage unit which stores
position determination information as a condition of a classification related to the position,
a future classification condition as a condition of a classification related to a future position, which is a future position of the object to be measured, and
a classified future position as the future position of the object to be measured which was classified by the future classification condition;

wherein the operation method comprises:
classifying the object to be measured by using the position determination information;
determining, by referring to the state quantities, a match among a plurality of the objects to be measured which are classified identically based on the classification and which were measured by different sensors, and fusing the positions of the plurality of objects to be measured determined to be a match, wherein
the objects to be measured are objects that can be measured by each of the plurality of sensors; and

estimating the future position of the object to be measured, and classifying the future position by using the future classification condition, wherein
in the classification, the future positions which are classified identically are included in targets to be determined in the determination of a match of the objects to be measured, and the positions and the future positions of the plurality of objects to be measured determined to be a match are fused.
