Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for operating an autonomous vehicle. In some embodiments, the system may obtain, by a camera associated with an autonomous vehicle, an image of an environment of the autonomous vehicle, the environment including a road on which the autonomous vehicle is operating and an occlusion on the road. The system may identify the occlusion in the image based on map information of the environment and at least one camera parameter of the camera for obtaining the image. The system may identify an object represented in the image, and determine a confidence score relating to the object. The confidence score may indicate a likelihood a representation of the object in the image is impacted by the occlusion. The system may determine an operation algorithm based on the confidence score; and cause the autonomous vehicle to operate based on the operation algorithm.

Abstract: Vehicles can include systems and apparatus for performing signal processing on sensor data from radar(s) and LiDAR(s) located on the vehicles. A method includes obtaining and filtering radar point cloud data of an area in an environment in which a vehicle is operating on a road to obtain filtered radar point cloud data; obtaining a light detection and ranging point cloud data of at least some of the area, where the light detection and ranging point cloud data include information about a bounding box that surrounds an object on the road; determining a set of radar point cloud data that are associated with the bounding box that surrounds the object; and causing the vehicle to operate based on one or more characteristics of the object determined from the set of radar point cloud data.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for fusing scenes from real-time image feeds from on-vehicle cameras in autonomous vehicles to reduce redundancy of the information processed to enable real-time autonomous operation are described. One example of a method for improving perception in an autonomous vehicle includes receiving a plurality of cropped images, wherein each of the plurality of cropped images comprises one or more bounding boxes that correspond to one or more objects in a corresponding cropped image; identifying, based on the metadata in the plurality of cropped images, a first bounding box in a first cropped image and a second bounding box in a second cropped image, wherein the first and second bounding boxes correspond to a common object; and fusing the metadata corresponding to the common object from the first cropped image and the second cropped image to generate an output result for the common object.

Abstract: Autonomous vehicles must accommodate various road configurations such as straight roads, curved roads, controlled intersections, uncontrolled intersections, and many others. Autonomous driving systems must make decisions about the speed and distance of traffic and about obstacles including obstacles that obstruct the view of the autonomous vehicle's sensors. For example, at intersections, the autonomous driving system must identify vehicles in the path of the autonomous vehicle or potentially in the path based on a planned path, estimate the distance to those vehicles, and estimate the speeds of those vehicles. Then, based on those and the road configuration and environmental conditions, the autonomous driving system must decide whether it is safe to proceed along the planned path or not, and when it is safe to proceed.

Abstract: A system and method for lateral vehicle detection is disclosed. A particular embodiment can be configured to: receive lateral image data from at least one laterally-facing camera associated with an autonomous vehicle; warp the lateral image data based on a line parallel to a side of the autonomous vehicle; perform object extraction on the warped lateral image data to identify extracted objects in the warped lateral image data; and apply bounding boxes around the extracted objects.

Abstract: Image processing techniques are described to select and crop a region of interest from an image obtained from a camera located on or in a vehicle, such as an autonomous semi-trailer truck. The region of interest can be identified by selecting one or more reference points and determining one or more positions of the one or more reference points on the image obtained from the camera. As an example, a location of two reference points may be 500 meters and 1000 meters in front of a location of autonomous vehicle, where the front of the autonomous vehicle is an area towards which the autonomous vehicle is being driven.

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.
