  • Publication number: 20240062556
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a vision-based machine learning model for lane connectivity in autonomous or semi-autonomous driving. An example method includes obtaining images from a multitude of image sensors positioned about a vehicle; compute forward pass-through backbone networks of a machine learning model, wherein the output of the backbone networks are fused via a transformer network; aggregating information output from the transformer network across time and/or space; and determining lane connectivity information.

  • Patent number: 10778199
    Abstract: Techniques for compensating temperature-dependent aspects of oscillator circuits are provided. In an example, an oscillator circuit can include an oscillator capacitor, a comparator and overshoot compensation circuitry for providing an oscillation period insensitive to a temperature-dependent comparator overshoot. The oscillator capacitor can be charged during a charging portion of the oscillation period and can be discharged during a discharging portion of the oscillation period. The comparator can determine when the oscillator capacitor has been charged to a first threshold. The overshoot compensation circuitry can store an indication of temperature-dependent comparator overshoot and, in response, generate and apply an adjustable reference voltage or pre-charge to a terminal of the oscillator capacitor.
