Patent number: 11989952Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting a location of a target vehicle are disclosed. A processor receives trajectory information for the target vehicle and determines a trajectory feature based on the trajectory information. The processor further determines a lane feature of a lane within a threshold vicinity of the target vehicle, and determines a probability associated with the lane based on the trajectory feature and the lane feature. The lane that the vehicle may enter is identified based on the probability. The processor may also generate interactive features of interactions between the target vehicle and other vehicles. The processor predicts a location of the target vehicle in an upcoming time period based on the lane feature and the trajectory feature. In some embodiments, the interactive features are also used for the prediction.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Lin Sun, Chenxu Luo, Dariush Dabiri
