  • Patent number: 12579685
    Abstract: A method of performing a camera to ground alignment for a camera system on a vehicle. The method includes determining if enabling conditions have occurred and estimating a location of a vanishing point in a source image. Ground lines are selected based on a source image. A lane line detection is performed based on clustering of the ground lines to determine lane lines in the source image. At least one of pitch, yaw, or roll of the vehicle are estimated from the source image. A cost function based on estimates of pitch, yaw, and roll is minimized to obtain an optimal pitch value, an optimal yaw value, an optimal roll value, and lane lines from the source image. A sliding window-based refinement is performed on source images. Alignment results are broadcast to a downstream application or it is determined if the camera system on the vehicle is misaligned.

  • Patent number: 12523752
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for aligning a sensor to a vehicle includes receiving a first frame of measurement from the sensor which includes a first point cloud. One or more clusters Ci representing one or more objects or the ground are segmented. A first set of feature vectors fi is computed for each cluster Ci. Based on the first set of feature vectors fi a second set of feature vectors fi? is predicted respectively using an initial transformation. A third set of feature vectors fj is computed for a second frame with a second point cloud with clusters Cj. A pair of matching clusters is identified from Ci and Cj. A feature distance between the matching clusters is computed. An alignment transformation is computed by updating the initial transformation based on the feature distance. The method further includes aligning the sensor and the vehicle based on the alignment transformation.

  • Patent number: 12467769
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for aligning a sensor to reference coordinate system includes initiating a plurality of threads, each thread executes simultaneously and independent of each other. A first thread parses data received from the sensor and stores the parsed data in a data buffer. A second thread computes an alignment transformation using the parsed data to determine alignment between the sensor and the reference coordinate system. The computing includes checking that the data buffer contains at least predetermined amount of data. If at least the predetermined amount of data exists, an intermediate result is computed using the parsed data in the data buffer; otherwise, the second thread waits for the first thread to add more data to the data buffer. The second thread outputs the intermediate result into the data buffer. A third thread outputs the alignment transformation, in response to completion of alignment computations.
