The worker thread executes one of the autonomous driving modules triggered or initiated the timer event. Input data is retrieved from the global store and provided to the worker thread to allow the worker thread to process the input data.

Abstract: Described is a system (and method) for generating a driving scenario for an autonomous driving simulator. The system may use a camera mounted to a vehicle as a cost effective approach to obtain real-life driving scenario data. The system may then analyze the two-dimensional image data to create a three-dimensional driving simulation. The analysis may include detecting objects (e.g. vehicles, pedestrians, etc.) within the two-dimensional image data and determining movements of the object based on a position, trajectory, and velocity of the object. The determined information of the object may then be projected onto a map that may be used for generating the three-dimensional driving simulation. The use of cost-effective cameras provides the ability to obtain vast amounts of driving image data that may be used to provide an extensive coverage of the potential types of driving scenarios an autonomous vehicle may encounter.

This implementation reduces the amount of manual work required for annotating point cloud data, thereby reducing the annotation costs.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a two-dimensional material structure and a resultant two-dimensional material device. The method comprises steps of: forming a sacrificial FIN structure on a substrate; covering the sacrificial FIN structure with a dielectric; releasing the sacrificial FIN structure; forming a carrier FIN structure at a position for releasing the sacrificial FIN; and self-restrictedly growing two-dimensional material structure by taking the carrier FIN structure as a substrate. Utilizing the sacrificial FIN structure to implement self-restrictedly growing of the nanometer structure of the two-dimensional material results in a high precision, lower edge roughness, high yields and low process deviation as well as compatibility with the processing of CMOS large scale integrated circuits, making the method suitable for a large scale production of the two-dimensional material and related devices.
