Patent number: 12182876Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing an insurance claim using a target captured image. A motion-based event associated with a vehicle is detected. One or more images of the motion-based event are captured automatically using a vehicle sensor. The one or more images are stored in a data stored associated with the vehicle. A request for an insurance claim from a user is received. A user interface is presented that enables the user to select the one or more images stored in the data store for associating the images with the insurance claim. A selection is received of at least one target image of the one or more images. Processing of the insurance claim is facilitated along with the selected at least one target image for processing.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2022Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: RIVIAN IP HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: Geoffrey Francis Burns, Michael Slattery, Arjuna Sivasithambaresan, Erik Robert Glaser

Patent number: 12179698Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for improving the response of a vehicle to at least one person or object approaching a vehicle, and more particularly, to a vehicle that uses at least one of sensor data or Bluetooth sensor data to determine a vehicle state and corresponding vehicle responses to at least one person or object approaching a vehicle. A signal strength is of a wireless signal received from a user device is determined. An object is detected based on a sensor configured to collect data corresponding to an environment external to a vehicle. A vehicle state is determined based on the signal strength and the detected object.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2022Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Rivian IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Sahil Sachdeva, Sreejith Venugopal Menon, Geoffrey Francis Burns, Vivek Ravi

Publication number: 20240430574Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a vehicle camera system. A device implementing the subject technology may include a processor configured to detect a first camera on a vehicle and a second camera on the vehicle. The processor can determine a position and a pose of at least one of the first camera or the second camera. The processor also can receive first data from the first camera and second data from the second camera. The processor can stitch the first data with the second data to generate a stitched image having a contiguous field of view based on the position and the pose of the at least one of the first camera or the second camera. Accordingly, seamless integration of cameras between a vehicle and towed objects of various geometries for surround view can be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Geoffrey Francis BURNS, Sreenivasulu GOSANGI, Michael Adkins KNOTT, Krishna Kumar MADAPARAMBIL, Vishwas VENKATACHALAPATHY, Vinay PALAKKODE, Vikram APPIA

Publication number: 20240426623Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a vehicle camera system for view creation of terrain view locations. A vehicle includes a first camera and a second camera and includes a processor configured to receive a route request to provide a route projection for the vehicle. The processor receives first data from the first camera and second data from the second camera. The processor combines the first data having a first field of view with the second data having a second field of view to create a stitched image representing a scene in a combined field of view. The processor provides overlay information mapped to pixel coordinates of the stitched image and provides, for display, a terrain view that includes the stitched image and the overlay information. The terrain view may be displayed in one of multiple selectable views based on a driving mode of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Dineth GAMALATH, Quentin Arthur Cradock Watson SPOTTISWOODE, Geoffrey Francis BURNS, Sreenivasulu GOSANGI, Dukhwan KIM, Krishna Kumar MADAPARAMBIL

Publication number: 20240428545Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a vehicle camera system. A device implementing the subject technology includes a first set of cameras and a processor configured to receive first data from at least one camera of a second set of cameras of an object configured to be towed by a vehicle and second data from at least one camera of the first set of cameras. The processor may determine, using a trained machine learning algorithm, a set of sub-pixel shift values that represent relative positions of images in the first data and the second data based on a position of the at least one camera of the first set of cameras. The processor may align, using the trained machine learning algorithm, the images based on the set of sub-pixel shift values, and combine the aligned images to produce a stitched image having a combined field of view.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Vishwas VENKATACHALAPATHY, Vinay PALAKKODE, Vikram APPIA, Geoffrey Francis BURNS, Sreenivasulu GOSANGI, Michael Adkins KNOTT, Krishna Kumar MADAPARAMBIL

Publication number: 20240424988Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a vehicle camera system for view creation of view locations. A device may include a processor that obtains first data and second data from different cameras of a vehicle. The first data may include an image representation of a scene in a first field of view being observed from a first perspective view and the second data may include an image representation of the scene in a second field of view being observed from the first perspective view in a second field of view. The processor may modify the first data and the second data by a perspective transformation to adjust the image representation to a second perspective view. The processor may create a stitched image representing the scene in a combined field of view observed from the second perspective view by stitching the modified first data with the modified second data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Geoffrey Francis BURNS, Sreenivasulu GOSANGI, Dukhwan KIM, Krishna Kumar MADAPARAMBIL, Dineth GAMALATH, Quentin Arthur Cradock Watson SPOTTISWOODE

Patent number: 12026959Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to deter an intruder from approaching and damaging a vehicle. With the use of a plurality of cameras, the system captures images of a surrounding environment of a vehicle. The system then detects a first motion-based event and, in response, stores images from at least one of the plurality of cameras. The system then detects a second motion-based event, and, in response, performs a first defensive action. Further, systems and methods are provided to capture images around the vehicle and automatically select an image associated with the insurance claim.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2022Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Rivian IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Geoffrey Francis Burns, Michael Slattery, Arjuna Sivasithambaresan, Erik Robert Glaser
