  • Publication number: 20230296382
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for vehicle navigation. In one implementation, a navigation system for a host vehicle may include at least one processor programmed to receive from a camera onboard the host vehicle at least one captured image representative of an environment of the vehicle; detect a pedestrian represented in the at least one captured image; analyze the at least one captured image to determine an indicator of angular rotation and an indicator of pitch angle associated with a head of the pedestrian represented in the at least one captured image; and cause at least one navigational action by the host vehicle based on the indicator of angular rotation and the indicator of pitch angle associated with the head of a pedestrian.

  • Patent number: 11680801
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating a host vehicle. In an embodiment, a processing device may be configured to receive a captured image acquired by a camera onboard the host vehicle; provide the captured image to an analysis module configured to generate an output including an indicator of a contact position of the occluded pedestrian with the ground surface, the analysis module including a trained model trained based a plurality of training images having been modified to occlude a region where a training pedestrian contacts a training ground surface; receive from the analysis module the generated output, including the indicator of the contact position of the occluded pedestrian with the ground surface; and cause at least one navigational action by the host vehicle based on the indicator of the contact position of the occluded pedestrian with the ground surface.

  • Publication number: 20220227367
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for vehicle navigation. In one implementation, at least one processor may receive, from a camera, at least one captured image representative of features in an environment of the vehicle. The processor may identify an intersection and a pedestrian in a vicinity of the intersection represented in the image. The processor may determine a navigational action for the vehicle relative to the intersection based on routing information for the vehicle; and determine a predicted path for the vehicle relative to the intersection based on the determined navigational action and a predicted path for the pedestrian based on analysis of the image. The processor may further determine whether the vehicle is projected to collide with the pedestrian based on the projected paths; and, in response, cause a system associated with the vehicle to implement a collision mitigation action.

  • Patent number: 11256998
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for processing activity data with a knowledge engine to generate actionable insights for a human subject are described. These actionable insights may include identifying a most likely action given a particular state of the human subject, identifying a most likely state in which the human subject performs a particular activity, or identifying anomalies in human activity patterns. In an example, an electronic processing system operates the knowledge engine with operations that: identify patterns of activity using clustering of events, identify meaningful patterns of activity from the patterns of activity based on co-occurrence of characteristics for respective events, rank the identified meaningful patterns of activity based on confidence and support of respective patterns to occur for a human subject, and generate a personalization action (such as an action for a software application) based on the ranked, identified meaningful patterns of activity.
