  • Patent number: 12462578
    Abstract: This document discloses system, method, and computer program product embodiments for detecting an object. For example, the method includes generating a plurality of cuboids by performing the following operations: defining a plurality of first cuboids each encompassing lidar data points that are plotted on a respective 3D graph of a plurality of 3D graphs; accumulating the lidar data points encompassed by the plurality of first cuboids; computing an extent using the accumulated lidar data points; and defining a second cuboid that has dimensions specified by the extent. The first cuboids and/or the second cuboid may be used to detect the object.

  • Patent number: 11557129
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating an autonomous vehicle. The methods comprising: obtaining, by a computing device, loose-fit cuboids overlaid on 3D graphs so as to each encompass LiDAR data points associated with a given object; defining, by the computing device, an amodal cuboid based on the loose-fit cuboids; using, by the computing device, the amodal cuboid to train a machine learning algorithm to detect objects of a given class using sensor data generated by sensors of the autonomous vehicle or another vehicle; and causing, by the computing device, operations of the autonomous vehicle to be controlled using the machine learning algorithm.

  • Publication number: 20060045176
    Abstract: An adaptive equalization method and system for automatically adjusting an equalizer to compensate a signal's frequency dependent loss is disclosed. The method comprises setting the equalizer's initial coefficient value, receiving an equalized signal, identifying a positive to zero transition of the equalized signal, generating a common mode voltage from the equalized signal, and determining the equalized signal's tail settling voltage. The method further comprises comparing the equalized signal's tail settling voltage to the common mode voltage, determining if the signal is over equalized or under equalized based on the comparison, and adjusting the equalizer's coefficient value based on whether the signal is under equalized or over equalized.
