Title: Kento Kagimoto’s Patents in Vehicle Sensing and Road-Line Recognition.

Introduction

Kento Kagimoto is an inventor based in Hitachinaka, Japan, and is associated with Hitachi Astemo Ltd. His work includes vehicle-sensing technologies designed to improve the recognition and estimation of road markings around a vehicle. He is named on 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Kagimoto’s listed patents address road-line recognition and inference.

“Dividing Line Recognition Device” describes a system that combines information from lane-marking and target-detection sensors. Its controller recognizes a detected dividing line, estimates additional lines by extending the detected line and considering another vehicle’s trajectory, and constructs an output line from one or more of those estimates.

“Rearward White Line Inference Device, Target Recognition Device, and Method” focuses on accurately inferring a white line behind a host vehicle. The system detects a white line ahead of the vehicle, tracks the vehicle’s azimuth relative to that line at set intervals, and uses those measurements to infer the relative azimuth.

Career Highlights

Kagimoto’s listed inventions concern the interpretation of sensor data for vehicle perception. By combining detected road markings with vehicle position and movement information, these systems aim to support more reliable recognition of lane boundaries and surrounding conditions.

Collaborations

Kagimoto is associated with Hitachi Astemo Ltd. His listed coworker is Hitoshi Hayakawa.

Conclusion

Kento Kagimoto’s patent work centers on vehicle sensing, with inventions that infer and recognize road lines using sensor measurements and vehicle-motion information.
