摘要： The present invention is directed to a system for measuring noise and velocity of a single object or surface in a soundscape of multiple noise-emitting objects or surfaces. The present invention features a system comprising a heterodyne signal system comprising a signal emitter, a signal receiver, and a signal processing component capable of directing an original signal to the object or surface, accepting a return signal Doppler shifted and mixed with the original signal, and removing the original signal, resulting in an output signal. The system may further comprise an acoustic spectrum analyzer capable of calculating a radiation-factor from the output signal, calculating a mean-squared velocity value by calculating a variance of a spectral shape of the output signal, calculating a noise-sound-power value from the mean-squared velocity value and the radiation-factor, and converting the noise-sound-power value into an acoustic decibel value.

摘要： The technology relates to autonomous vehicles for transporting cargo and/or people between locations. Distributed sensor arrangements may not be suitable for vehicles such as large trucks, busses or construction vehicles. Side view mirror assemblies are provided that include a sensor suite of different types of sensors, including LIDAR, radar, cameras, etc. Each side assembly is rigidly secured to the vehicle by a mounting element. The sensors within the assembly may be aligned or arranged relative to a common axis or physical point of the housing. This enables self-referenced calibration of all sensors in the housing. Vehicle-level calibration can also be performed between the sensors on the left and right sides of the vehicle. Each side view mirror assembly may include a conduit that provides one or more of power, data and cooling to the sensors in the housing.

摘要： A vehicle system is provided for correcting in real-time a camera-based estimated position of a road object. The system includes a camera for generating an image input signal including image sensor data associated with the road object. The system further includes one or more input devices for generating a vehicle input signal including vehicle sensor data associated with a position, a speed, and a heading of the vehicle. The system further includes a computer, which includes one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) storing instructions. The processor is programmed to match the image sensor data and the vehicle sensor data to one another based on a common time of collection. The processor is further programmed to determine an error model and a deviation of a current camera-based position from a predicted position. The processor is further programmed to update the error model based on the deviation.

摘要： The invention discloses an active auto-focus tracking system using a time-of-flight (ToF) depth sensor. The ToF sensor serves as a rangefinder and also provides environmental depth information. The active auto-focus system includes a compressive tracking algorithm to track the movement of an object. The active auto-focus tracking system can acquire subject depth information regardless of various lighting conditions, subject positions, and visual patterns. Moreover, the system can perform an improved acquisition of focusing distance in both normal and low-level lighting conditions.

摘要： The disclosure is a three-dimensional towered checkerboard for multi-sensor calibration, and a LiDAR and camera joint calibration method based on the checkerboard. The joint calibration method includes: establishing a modeling coordinate system taking the three-dimensional towered checkerboard as a basis, and generating a point cloud of the three-dimensional towered checkerboard; denoising a three-dimensional point cloud obtained by LiDAR, and obtaining an actual point cloud of the three-dimensional towered checkerboard under a LiDAR coordinate system; determining a transformation relationship between the LiDAR coordinate system and the modeling coordinate system; generating a corner point set of two-dimensional checkerboards under the modeling coordinate system in sequence according to actual positions of corners of the two-dimensional checkerboards, and transforming into the LiDAR coordinate system; obtaining a corner point set of the two-dimensional checkerboards on a photo; and calculating a transformation relationship between the camera coordinate system and the LiDAR coordinate system.
