    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.

    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: A system and method for fisheye image processing can be configured to: receive fisheye image data from at least one fisheye lens camera associated with an autonomous vehicle, the fisheye image data representing at least one fisheye image frame; partition the fisheye image frame into a plurality of image portions representing portions of the fisheye image frame; warp each of the plurality of image portions to map an arc of a camera projected view into a line corresponding to a mapped target view, the mapped target view being generally orthogonal to a line between a camera center and a center of the arc of the camera projected view; combine the plurality of warped image portions to form a combined resulting fisheye image data set representing recovered or distortion-reduced fisheye image data corresponding to the fisheye image frame; generate auto-calibration data representing a correspondence between pixels in the at least one fisheye image frame and corresponding pixels in the combined resulting fisheye image data set; and provide the combined resulting fisheye image data set as an output for other autonomous vehicle subsystems.

    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for processing an image. In one aspect a method includes receiving an image from a sensor array including an x-y array of pixels, each pixel in the x-y array of pixels having a value selected from one of three primary colors, based on a corresponding x-y value in a mask pattern. The method may further include generating a preprocessed image by performing preprocessing on the image. The method may further include performing perception on the preprocessed image to determine one or more outlines of physical objects.

    Abstract: A system and method for image localization based on semantic segmentation are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: receiving image data from an image generating device mounted on an autonomous vehicle; performing semantic segmentation or other object detection on the received image data to identify and label objects in the image data and produce semantic label image data; identifying extraneous objects in the semantic label image data; removing the extraneous objects from the semantic label image data; comparing the semantic label image data to a baseline semantic label map; and determining a vehicle location of the autonomous vehicle based on information in a matching baseline semantic label map.
