Patent number: 11574468Abstract: A model can be trained to detect interactions of other drivers through a window of their vehicle. A human driver behind a window (e.g., front windshield) of a vehicle can be detected in a real-world driving data. The human driver can be tracked over time through the window. The real-world driving data can be augmented by replacing at least a portion of the human driver with at least a portion of a virtual driver performing a target driver interaction to generate an augmented real-world driving dataset. The target driver interaction can be a gesture or a gaze. Using the augmented real-world driving data set, a machine learning model can be trained to detect the target driver interactions. Thus, simulation can be leveraged to provide a large set of useful training data without having to acquire real-world data of drivers performing target driver interactions as viewed from outside the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Toyota Research Institute, Inc.Inventor: Adrien David Gaidon

Patent number: 11535261Abstract: Virtual humans exhibit behaviors associated with inputs and outputs of an autonomous control system for medical monitoring of patients. To foster the awareness and trust, the virtual humans exhibit situational awareness via apparent (e.g., rendered) behaviors based on inputs such as physiological vital signs. The virtual humans also exhibit situational control via apparent behaviors associated with outputs such as direct control of devices, functions of control, actions based on high-level goals, and the optional use of virtual versions of conventional physical controls. A dynamic virtual human who continually exhibits awareness of the system state and relevant contextual circumstances, along with the ability to directly control the system, is used to reduce negative feelings associated with the system such as uncertainty, concern, stress, or anxiety on the part of real human patients.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: University of Central Florida Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Welch, Gerd Bruder
