Foresight Autonomous granted approval in Japan for vision system

Foresight Autonomous announced that it has received a notice of allowance from the Japan Patent Office for its patent application, number 2020-557022, for the Company’s “multi-spectral vehicular system for providing pre-collision alerts.” The patented technology combines data from a pair of stereoscopic infrared sensors and a pair of stereoscopic visible-light sensors through an advanced fusion module. The fusion enables precise obstacle detection and distance estimation. The fusion of the two stereoscopic channels also tackles corner-case scenarios, particularly in challenging weather and lighting conditions, while minimizing false alerts. The system’s automatic calibration module is designed to ensure that stereo cameras maintain calibration regardless of their configuration or position, thereby ensuring accurate and continuous depth perception.
