Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting objects within an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) is provided. The method includes obtaining road scene datasets from a plurality of cameras, including at least road scene images and road scene data annotations, to be provided to an object detection neural network communicating with an open-vocabulary detector of a vehicle, converting, by a text prompter, the road scene data annotations into natural text inputs, converting, by a text embedder, the natural text inputs into embeddings, minimizing objective functions during training to adjust parameters of the object detection neural network, and detecting, by the object detection neural network, objects within the road scene datasets to provide alerts or notifications to a driver of the vehicle pertaining to the detected objects.
