  • Patent number: 12434709
    Abstract: Techniques for adjusting vehicle models based on environmental conditions are discussed herein. The techniques may include receiving image data representing a portion of an environment in which a vehicle is operating and inputting the image data into a machine learned model. Additionally, data representing an environmental condition associated with the environment may be received from a sensor of the vehicle to detect changes in the environmental conditions such that one or more actions associated with the machine learned model or an output of the machine learned model may be performed. Some of the techniques may also include running multiple machine learned models or multiple configurations of a machine learned model in parallel and selecting different outputs of the machine learned model(s) to adjust for changes in the environmental conditions. For instance, individual outputs may be selected based on environmental conditions, confidence scores, thresholds, etc.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11397439
    Abstract: Techniques associated with generating or tuning parameters associated with long wave infrared sensor data to improve object detection associated with the captured images are discussed herein. The system may determine a region of interest associated with the sensor data and adjust or tune the parameters to improve detection(s) within the region of interest. Additionally, the system may adjust the parameters based on map data and/or environmental conditions, such as weather and temperature.
