Abstract: Systems and methods for assisting drivers to maneuver a vehicle include a plurality of image sensors about a vehicle capture image data. At least one processor is programmed to display one or more types of overhead views on a vehicle display based on the image data. For example, an environment-fixed overhead composite image can be displayed on the vehicle display. In the environment-fixed overhead composite image, an environment about the vehicle is displayed spatially fixed as the vehicle is maneuvered, and a graphical image representing the vehicle moves within the environment-fixed overhead composite image as the vehicle maneuvered. This type of overhead view can be shown when, for example, distance between the vehicle and a target object is below a threshold.

Abstract: A deep learning based compression (DLBC) system applies trained models to compress binary code of an input image to a target codelength. For a set of binary codes representing the quantized coefficents of an input image, the DLBC system applies a first model that is trained to predict feature probabilities based on the context of each bit of the binary codes. The DLBC system compresses the binary code via adaptive arithmetic coding based on the determined probability of each bit. The compressed binary code represents a balance between a reconstruction quality of a reconstruction of the input image and a target compression ratio of the compressed binary code.

Abstract: Systems and method for video compression using conditional entropy coding. An ordered sequence of image frames can be transformed to produce an entropy coding for each image frame. Each of the entropy codings provide a compressed form of image information based on a prior image frame and a current image frame (the current image frame occurring after the prior image frame). In this manner, the compression model can capture temporal relationships between image frames or encoded representations of the image frames using a conditional entropy encoder trained to approximate the joint entropy between frames in the image frame sequence.
