  • Publication number: 20230242160
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle computing system can include a primary perception system configured to receive a plurality of sensor data points as input generate primary perception data representing a plurality of classifiable objects and a plurality of paths representing tracked motion of the plurality of classifiable objects. The autonomous vehicle computing system can include a secondary perception system configured to receive the plurality of sensor data points as input, cluster a subset of the plurality of sensor data points of the sensor data to generate one or more sensor data point clusters representing one or more unclassifiable objects that are not classifiable by the primary perception system, and generate secondary path data representing tracked motion of the one or more unclassifiable objects. The autonomous vehicle computing system can generate fused perception data based on the primary perception data and the one or more unclassifiable objects.

  • Patent number: 11593950
    Abstract: Systems and methods for movement detection are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining image data and range data representing a scene external to an autonomous vehicle, the image data including at least a first image and a second image that depict the scene. The method includes identifying a set of corresponding image features from the image data, the set of corresponding image features including a first feature in the first image having a correspondence with a second feature in the second image. The method includes determining a respective distance for each of the first feature and the second feature based at least in part on the range data. The method includes determining a velocity associated with a portion of a scene represented by the set of corresponding image features based at least in part on the respective distance for the first feature and the second feature.
