Abstract
A method and a system for calculating a time to go value between a vehicle and an intruding object. A first image of the intruding object at a first point of time retrieved. A second image of the intruding object at a second point of time is retrieved. The first image and the second image are filtered so that the first image and the second image become independent of absolute signal energy and so that edges become enhanced. An X fractional pixel position and a Y fractional pixel position are set to zero. The X fractional pixel position denotes a horizontal displacement at sub pixel level and the Y fractional pixel position denotes a vertical displacement at sub pixel level. A scale factor is selected. The second image is scaled with the scale factor and resampled to the X fractional pixel position and the Y fractional pixel position, which results in a resampled scaled image. Correlation values, are calculated between the first image and the resampled scaled image for different horizontal displacements at pixel level and different vertical displacements at pixel level for the resampled scaled image. A maximum correlation value at a subpixel level is found based on the correlation values. The X fractional pixel position and the Y fractional pixel position are also updated. j is set to j=j+1 and scaling of the second image, calculation of correlation values, finding the maximum correlation value and setting of j to j=j+1 are repeated a predetermined number of times. i is set to i=i+1 and selecting the scale factor, scaling of the second image, calculation of correlation values, finding the maximum correlation value, setting of j to j=j+1, and setting of i to i=i+1 are repeated a predetermined number of times. A largest maximum correlation value is found among the maximum correlation values and the scale factor associated with the largest maximum correlation value. The time to go is calculated based on the scale factor.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
