  • Patent number: 10241510
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling a vehicle. The vehicle is controlled to operate in an autonomous driving mode in which the vehicle is driven without a manipulation by an operator of the vehicle. A request to switch to a manual driving mode, in which the vehicle is driven with the manipulation by the operator, is received. A range of the manipulation regarding a function of the vehicle is determined according to a driving situation of the vehicle in response to the request. The vehicle is controlled to operate in the manual driving mode in which the manipulation by the operator is limited according to the range of the manipulation.

  • Patent number: 9082176
    Abstract: An apparatus and method estimate disparities of pixels in a frame. In order to acquire temporally-consistent disparity maps it is determined whether to enforce a temporal consistency with respect to pixels. In order to determine whether to enforce the temporal consistency, a texture, motion, or a matched motion in the frame may be detected or estimated. A disparity of a pixel where the temporal consistency is enforced may be calculated based on a disparity of a corresponding pixel in a previous frame.
