  • Method and system for processing a plurality of images so as to detect lanes on a road
    Patent number: 11900696
    Abstract: A system and a method for processing a plurality of images, each image of the plurality of images being acquired by a respective image acquisition module of a vehicle and each image acquisition module being oriented outwardly with respect to the vehicle, the method comprising: elaborating a bird's eye view image of surroundings of the vehicle using pixel values of pixels of at least one portion of each image of the plurality of images as pixel values of the bird's eye view image, and performing, on the bird's eye view image, a detection of at least one lane marked on a surface on which the vehicle is and visible on the bird's eye view image.

  • METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING AT LEAST ONE IMAGE, AND VEHICLE INCLUDING THE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20210264196
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for processing at least one image comprising inputting the image to at least one neural network, the at least one network being configured to deliver, for each pixel of a group of pixels belonging to an object of a given type visible on the image, an estimation of object parameters that are parameters of the object. The method further comprising processing the estimations of the object parameters using an instance segmentation mask identifying instances of objects having the given type.
