  • Patent number: 11954180
    Abstract: Sensor fusion is performed for efficient deep learning processing. A camera image is received from an image sensor and supplemental sensor data is received from one or more supplemental sensors, the camera image and the supplemental sensor data including imaging of a cabin of a vehicle. Regions of interest in the camera image are determined based on one or more of the camera image or the supplemental sensor data, the regions of interest including areas of the camera image flagged for further image analysis. A machine-learning model is utilized to perform object detection on the regions of interest of the camera image to identify one or more objects in the camera image. The objects are placed into seating zones of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230326266
    Abstract: A system receives a request to engage one or more vehicle micro-services on behalf of a vehicle feature. The system accesses a manifest associated with the vehicle feature, the manifest including the one or more micro-services and configurations to be associated with instances of the one or more micro-services launched on behalf of the vehicle feature. The system requests launch of each of the micro-services and the associated configurations from a vehicle process responsible for micro-service launch, to build a pipeline for the vehicle feature and translates results generated by at least one micro-service of the pipeline into a format predefined as suitable for use by the vehicle feature.

  • Publication number: 20230325247
    Abstract: A vehicle system receives a request for a first vehicle micro-service to be executed on behalf of a first feature and to be executed having a configuration included in the request. The system determines whether the first micro-service with the configuration is already executing on behalf of a second feature. The system determines if vehicle resources will support an instance of the first micro-service with the configuration when the first micro-service with the configuration is not already executing and, responsive to determining that vehicle resources will support the instance, launches the requested first micro-service with the configuration. The system additionally registers the instance along with the configuration and any features on behalf of which the instance is functioning.

  • Patent number: 11500104
    Abstract: A reference pose of an object in a coordinate system of a map of an area is determined. The reference pose is based on a three-dimensional (3D) reference model representing the object. A first pose of the object is determined as the object moves with respect to the coordinate system. The first pose is determined based on the reference pose and sensor data collected by the sensor at a first time. A second pose of the object is determined as the object continues to move with respect to the coordinate system. The second pose is determined based on the reference pose, the first pose, and sensor data collected by the sensor at a second time consecutive to the first time.

  • Patent number: 11403856
    Abstract: A system, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to identify first object features from sensor data acquired by a stationary sensor at a first time step, determine second object features at a second time step. The instructions can include further instructions to determine one or more object clusters of first object features by determining distances measured in pixels between the first object features and corresponding second object features and comparing the distances to one or more mean distances and determine one or more object groups of inlier first object features in the one or more object clusters by determining a plurality of similarity transformations for a plurality of random samples of first object features and determining inlier first object features based on maximizing the number of first object features included in a similarity transformation.
