Patent number: 12775704Abstract: Various embodiments include methods for processing an image from an apparatus camera to recognize potentially malicious attacks on the camera. Various embodiments may include processing an image received from a camera of the apparatus using a plurality of different trained image processing models or vision pipelines to obtain a plurality of different image processing outputs, and performing a plurality of consistency checks on the plurality of different image processing outputs. Such consistency checks compare two or more selected outputs of the plurality of different outputs to detect inconsistencies that may be associated with or due to an attack on the camera. Indications of an attack on a camera may be reported to and considered by an autonomous driving system of the apparatus or otherwise addressed in one or more mitigation actions.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2023Date of Patent: October 27, 2026Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jean-Philippe Monteuuis, Hong Cai, Jonathan Petit, Mohammad Raashid Ansari, Cong Chen, Hyojin Park, Fatih Murat Porikli

Publication number: 20260330971Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for securely managing maneuver identifications (IDs) for vehicle-based communications. For example, a method may include transmitting a message associated with a potential maneuver by the vehicle, determining a maneuver identification (ID) for the potential maneuver based on the message, and transmitting a first maneuver message (including the maneuver ID) for the potential maneuver. In another example, a method may include receiving a first maneuver message including a maneuver ID, determining that the first maneuver ID is a new maneuver ID, and determining, based on the first maneuver ID being a new maneuver ID, whether the first maneuver ID matches a second maneuver ID determined based on a previously-received message. In another example, a method may include receiving maneuver messages that include a same maneuver identification (ID) and one or more source IDs and determining whether the source ID(s) of the maneuver messages match.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2026Publication date: October 22, 2026Inventors: Jean-Philippe MONTEUUIS, Jonathan PETIT, Seung Ryul YANG, Cong CHEN, Mohammad Raashid ANSARI
