  • VISION-BASED MACHINE LEARNING MODEL FOR AUTONOMOUS DRIVING WITH ADJUSTABLE VIRTUAL CAMERA
    Publication number: 20260127891
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a vision-based machine learning model for autonomous driving with adjustable virtual camera. An example method includes obtaining images from a multitude of image sensors positioned about a vehicle. Features associated with the images are determined, with the features being output based on a forward pass through a first portion of a machine learning model. The features are projected into a vector space associated with a virtual camera at a particular height. The projected features are aggregated with other projected features associated with prior images. A plurality of objects which are positioned according to the virtual camera are determined.
    Type: Application
