  • Patent number: 11594042
    Abstract: A device may receive accelerometer data and video data for a vehicle and may identify bounding boxes and object classes for objects near the vehicle. The device may identify tracks for the objects and may filter out tracks that are not associated with vehicles or vulnerable road users to generate one or more tracks or an indication of no tracks. The device may generate a collision cone identifying a drivable area of the vehicle to identify objects more likely to be involved in a collision and may filter out tracks from the one or more tracks, based on the bounding boxes, and to generate a subset of tracks or another indication of no tracks. The device may determine scores for the subset of tracks and may identify a track of the subset of tracks with a highest score. The device may perform actions based on the identified track.
