  • Patent number: 12288403
    Abstract: In various examples, estimated field of view or gaze information of a user may be projected external to a vehicle and compared to vehicle perception information corresponding to an environment outside of the vehicle. As a result, interior monitoring of a driver or occupant of the vehicle may be used to determine whether the driver or occupant has processed or seen certain object types, environmental conditions, or other information exterior to the vehicle. For a more holistic understanding of the state of the user, attentiveness and/or cognitive load of the user may be monitored to determine whether one or more actions should be taken. As a result, notifications, AEB system activations, and/or other actions may be determined based on a more complete state of the user as determined based on cognitive load, attentiveness, and/or a comparison between external perception of the vehicle and estimated perception of the user.

  • Patent number: 12260625
    Abstract: Techniques for determining ground surface voxels based on multiresolution planes are discussed herein. Such multiresolution planes may be generated, validated, and used to connect voxels associated with the ground. In some examples, a vehicle may use capture or otherwise receive lidar data while traversing within a driving environment. The vehicle may associate the lidar data with a voxel space. Voxels can be associated with a cell of a multiresolution grid and the vehicle may determine multiresolution planes associated with the multiresolution space. For example, the vehicle may determine a first plane associated with a first resolution level, in addition to determining a plurality of planes associated with a second resolution level. The vehicle may determine the validity of the plane(s) at the various resolution levels. Based on the validity of the planes, the vehicle may connect the valid planes that are associated with the ground surface.
