Patent number: 10769463Abstract: Systems and methods of training vehicles to improve performance, reliability and autonomy of vehicles. Sensors capture a vehicle driver's eye movements, hand grip and contact area on steering wheel, distance of the accelerator and brake pedals from the foot, depression of these pedals by the foot, and ambient sounds. Data from these sensors is used as training data to improve autonomy of vehicles. Detection of events occurring outside a vehicle is made by comparing human sensor data with an associated road map to determine correlation.

Patent number: 10762397Abstract: A device configured to emulate image mapping in a correlithm object processing system comprises a memory and one or more processors. The memory stores a correlithm object mapping table configured with multiple source image elements and multiple corresponding target correlithm objects. The processors receive an input image element comprising an n-pixel array of binary values and determine n-dimensional distances between the input image element and each of the source image elements. The processors then identify a source image element with the closest determined n-dimensional distance. The processors determine whether a deviation between the input image element and the identified source image element is within a predetermined tolerance. The processors identify a target correlithm object corresponding to the identified source image and determine a perturbation to be applied to the identified target correlithm object based on the determined deviation.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventor: Patrick N.
