Gayatri U. Powar has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11312353
    Abstract: A vehicular control system includes a forward viewing camera and a non-vision sensor. The control, responsive to processing of captured non-vision sensor data and processing of frames of captured image data, at least in part controls the equipped vehicle to travel along a road. The control, responsive at least in part to processing of frames of captured image data, determines lane markers on the road and determines presence of another vehicle traveling along the traffic lane ahead of the equipped vehicle and determines a trajectory of the other vehicle relative to the equipped vehicle. The control stores a trajectory history of the determined trajectory of the other vehicle relative to the equipped vehicle as the other vehicle and the equipped vehicle travel along the traffic lane.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10407047
    Abstract: A driver assistance system of an equipped vehicle includes at least one camera disposed at the equipped vehicle so as to have a field of view exterior of the equipped vehicle. A control has an image processor operable to process frames of image data captured by the camera. The image processor processes frames of captured image data to determine a target vehicle present in the field of view of the camera and to determine motion of the determined target vehicle relative to the equipped vehicle. The control, responsive to processing frames of captured image data via the image processor, determines a path of travel of the determined target vehicle relative to the equipped vehicle as the equipped vehicle is moving. The control translates the determined motion of the target vehicle to a local coordinate system of the equipped vehicle.
