  • Publication number: 20220373684
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method of a LiDAR system to determine the distance of an object from the LiDAR system. Embodiments of the LiDAR system can use a coarse estimate of the distance of an object from the LiDAR system which is then used by a fast search to determine an estimate of the distance of an object from the LiDAR system within a precision threshold. In some embodiments the LiDAR system can use adaptive precision when determining the distance of an object from the LiDAR system.

  • Publication number: 20210373136
    Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for detecting an object, especially an object remotely placed in a field of view (FOV) using optical pulses with non-uniform pulse power, without exceeding the Accessible Emitted Limit (AEL) A plurality of optical pulses including two or more levels of pulse power may be emitted to detect an object in the FOV. Information related to the object may be generated from the returning optical pulses. The optical pulses with non-uniform pulse power may result in increased probability of detection associated with the pulses returning from the remotely located object, and therefore the density of point clouds associated with the remotely located object may be increased.

  • Publication number: 20210319079
    Abstract: A dot-product architecture and method are disclosed for calculating floating-point dot-products of two vectors. The architecture includes an array of multiplier units that each include an integer logic that multiplies integer values of corresponding elements of the two vectors; an exponent logic that adds exponent values of the corresponding elements of the two vectors to form an unbiased exponent values, and a local shifter that forms a first shifted value by shifting a product-integer value by a number of bits in a predetermined direction based on a difference value between an unbiased exponent value corresponding to the product-integer value and a maximum unbiased exponent value for the array of multiplier units. An adder tree adds shifted values output from local shifters of the array of multiplier units to form an output, and an accumulator accumulates the output of the addition unit.

  • Publication number: 20210133278
    Abstract: A method of quantizing an artificial neural network may include dividing a quantization range for a tensor of the artificial neural network into a first region and a second region, and quantizing values of the tensor in the first region separately from values of the tensor in the second region. Linear or nonlinear quantization may be applied to values of the tensor in the first region and the second region. The method may include locating a breakpoint between the first region and the second region by substantially minimizing an expected quantization error over at least a portion of the quantization range. The expected quantization error may be minimized by solving analytically and/or searching numerically.
