Patent ID: 8452054

Claim:
An obstacle detection procedure (O) within an environment (E) of a motor vehicle, featuring the fact that it involves the following stages: carrying out a first obstacle detection (O) by image processing resulting in a definition of at least one region of interest (ROI); classifying the detected obstacle (O) with an index of confidence (IC) applied to the region of interest (ROI) in relation to a given characteristics (C); carrying out a second obstacle detection (O) by sensor(s) (ULS; RAD) with detection range below a first threshold (S 1 ) resulting in a determined position (POS); projecting the determined position (POS) in a reference marker (COORef); projecting the region of interest (ROI) in this reference marker (COORef); and aligning the two projections obtained (PJ 1 , PJ 2 ) and attributing a determined position (POS) to the classified obstacle (O) in accordance with the alignment.
