Abstract
A motor vehicle system for generating and transmitting motor vehicle imaging object data includes a communication system module positioned in a host vehicle receiving vehicle attribute data during host vehicle highway travel and preparing a fused object attribute data for transmission. An imaging device collects object imaging data representing objects within a visible detection range of the imaging device. An object detection and classification system module has an object classification sub-module used to classify the objects within the visible detection range as a vehicle type or a pedestrian and to output each as an object attribute data. A target fusion module receives the object attribute data from the object detection and classification system module, fuses the object attribute data with the vehicle attribute data to create the fused object attribute data, and forwards the fused object attribute data to the communication system module for transmission.
