Abstract: A method of performing a camera to ground alignment for a camera system on a vehicle. The method includes determining if enabling conditions have occurred and estimating a location of a vanishing point in a source image. Ground lines are selected based on a source image. A lane line detection is performed based on clustering of the ground lines to determine lane lines in the source image. At least one of pitch, yaw, or roll of the vehicle are estimated from the source image. A cost function based on estimates of pitch, yaw, and roll is minimized to obtain an optimal pitch value, an optimal yaw value, an optimal roll value, and lane lines from the source image. A sliding window-based refinement is performed on source images. Alignment results are broadcast to a downstream application or it is determined if the camera system on the vehicle is misaligned.

Abstract: A system and method for managing network communication in an asymmetric network environment. The system includes a gateway. The gateway receives a plurality of packets for transmission over first communication network. The plurality of packets are received via primary network path. The gateway dynamically evaluates the plurality of packets. The gateway classifies the plurality of packets into a latency sensitive packet and a latency agnostic packet.

The gateway splits the latency sensitive packet and the latency agnostic packet between the primary network path and the secondary network path. The gateway selects the primary network path for transmitting the latency sensitive packet. The gateway selects the secondary network path for transmitting the latency agnostic packet over downstream transmission.
