The present disclosure relates to the field of vehicle driving assistance and/or autonomous driving within a delimited area, such as an indoor space. The disclosure includes a computer-implemented method for vehicle driving assistance within a delimited area, which includes the followings steps performed by a central data processing system: receiving from a plurality of vehicles (V, i=1, 2, 3, . . . ) located within the delimited area, through a wireless local area network covering said delimited area, sensing data from onboard sensors of the vehicles (Vi), whereby the sensing data from each vehicle (Vi) is related to an environment around said vehicle (Vi), centrally processing and fusing the sensing data from the plurality of vehicles (Vi); and transmitting to at least one target vehicle (Vi), through the wireless local area network, an information for vehicle driving assistance based on a result of the step of centrally processing and fusing.

Method for vehicle driving assistance within delimited area

A computer implemented method for determining the position of a vehicle, wherein the method comprises: determining at least one scan comprising a plurality of detection points, wherein each detection point is evaluated from a signal received at the at least one sensor and representing a location in the vehicle environment; determining, from a database, a predefined map, wherein the map comprises a plurality of elements in a map environment, each of the elements representing a respective one of a plurality of static landmarks in the vehicle environment, and the map environment representing the vehicle environment; matching the plurality of detection points and the plurality of elements of the map; determining the position of the vehicle based on the matching; wherein the predefined map further comprises a spatial assignment of a plurality of parts of the map environment to the plurality of elements, and wherein the spatial assignment is used for the matching.

Method for determining the position of a vehicle

A computer-implemented method for determining a position of a vehicle is disclosed, wherein the vehicle is equipped with a sensor for capturing scans of a vicinity of the vehicle, wherein the method comprises at least the following steps carried out by computer-hardware components: capturing at least one scan by means of the sensor with a plurality of sensor data samples given in a sensor data representation; determining, from a database, a predefined map with at least one element is given in a map data representation; determining a transformed map by transforming the at least one element of the predefined map from the map data representation into the sensor data representation; matching at least a subset of the sensor data samples of the at least one scan and the at least one element of the transformed map; and determining the position of the vehicle based on the matching.

Method for determining a position of a vehicle

A computer-implemented method for determining an initial ego-pose for initialization of self-localization includes providing a plurality of particles in a map; grouping the particles in a plurality of clusters, each cluster comprising a respective subset of the plurality of particles; during particle filtering, injecting particles based on the plurality of clusters; and determining an initial ego-pose based on the particle filtering.

Methods and systems for determining an initial ego-pose for initialization of self-localization

A method is described for determining the position of a vehicle equipped with a radar system that includes at least one radar sensor adapted to receive radar signals emitted from at least one radar emitter of the radar system and reflected the radar sensor. The method comprises: acquiring at least one radar scan comprising a plurality of radar detection points, wherein each radar detection point is evaluated from a radar signal received at the radar sensor and representing a location in the vicinity of the vehicle; determining, from a database, a predefined map, wherein the map comprises at least one element representing a static landmark in the vicinity of the vehicle; matching at least a subset of the plurality of radar detection points of the at least one scan and the at least one element of the map; deter-mining the position of the vehicle based on the matching.

A method for increasing the reliability of determining the position of a vehicle on the basis of a plurality of detection points is described, the plurality of detection points being acquired using a radio-based and/or an optical sensor system, in particular a radar system, of a vehicle receiving electromagnetic signals from a vicinity of the vehicle, and each of the plurality of detection point representing a location in the vicinity of the vehicle, wherein the method comprises for each detection point of at least a subset of the plurality of detection points: determining at least one geometrical object associated with the detection point; determining at least one group of detection points from the subset sharing the at least one geometrical object; determining a quantity of detection points in the at least one group; evaluating a weight which represents the quantity of detection points in the at least one group on a predefined scale, and processing the detection point with respect to the weight.
