Abstract
Various embodiments are described herein for a system and method for blindzone obstacle detection for a host vehicle. The system comprises a sensor array configured to generate measurement data for a blindzone of the host vehicle; a blindzone object detector having at least two detectors that are coupled to the sensor array to process the measurement data and generate outputs which are then combined to form a final detection value that is used to detect an object in the blindzone of the host vehicle. An indicator can also be coupled to the blindzone object detector to generate an indication of object detection in the blindzone.
