    Abstract: A system and method for online real-time multi-object tracking is disclosed. A particular embodiment can be configured to: receive image frame data from at least one camera associated with an autonomous vehicle; generate similarity data corresponding to a similarity between object data in a previous image frame compared with object detection results from a current image frame; use the similarity data to generate data association results corresponding to a best matching between the object data in the previous image frame and the object detection results from the current image frame; cause state transitions in finite state machines for each object according to the data association results; and provide as an output object tracking output data corresponding to the states of the finite state machines for each object.

    Abstract: A system comprises a headlight mounted on an autonomous vehicle. The headlight is configured to illuminate at least a portion of a road the autonomous vehicle is on. The system further comprises a control device associated with the autonomous vehicle. The processor obtains information about an environment around the autonomous vehicle. The processor determines that at least a portion of the road should be illuminated if the information indicates that an illumination level of the portion of the road is less than a threshold illumination level. The processor adjusts the headlight to illuminate at least the portion of the road in response to determining that at least the portion of the road should be illuminated.

    Abstract: Techniques are described to estimate orientation of one or more cameras located on a vehicle. The orientation estimation technique can include obtaining an image from a camera located on a vehicle while the vehicle is being driven on a road, determining, from a terrain map, a location of a landmark located at a distance from a location of the vehicle on the road, determining, in the image, pixel locations of the landmark, selecting one pixel location from the determined pixel locations; and calculating values that describe an orientation of the camera using at least an intrinsic matrix and a previously known extrinsic matrix of the camera, where the intrinsic matrix is characterized based on at least the one pixel location and the location of the landmark.

    Abstract: A system installed in a vehicle includes a first group of sensing devices configured to allow a first level of autonomous operation of the vehicle; a second group of sensing devices configured to allow a second level of autonomous operation of the vehicle, the second group of sensing devices including primary sensing devices and backup sensing devices; a third group of sensing devices configured to allow the vehicle to perform a safe stop maneuver; and a control element communicatively coupled to the first group of sensing devices, the second group of sensing devices, and the third group of sensing devices. The control element is configured to: receive data from at least one of the first group, the second group, or the third group of sensing devices, and provide a control signal to a sensing device based on categorization information indicating a group to which the sensing device belongs.
