Patent number: 10853670Abstract: A computing system can crop an image based on a width, height and location of a first vehicle in the image. The computing system can estimate a pose of the first vehicle based on inputting the cropped image and the width, height and location of the first vehicle into a deep neural network. The computing system can then operate a second vehicle based on the estimated pose. The computing system may train a model to identify a type and a location of a hazard according to the estimated pose, the hazard being such things as ice, mud, pothole, or other hazard. The model may be used by an autonomous vehicle to identify and avoid hazards or to provide drive assistance alerts.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Gautham Sholingar, Jinesh J Jain, Gintaras Vincent Puskorius, Leda Daehler

Patent number: 10791534Abstract: In a message receiver, a receipt timestamp is assigned according to a time of wirelessly receiving a message. Object data about an object is extracted from the message, including a timestamp adjustment for the object from a message sender. An estimated sender capture timestamp is assigned to the object by subtracting the timestamp adjustment and an estimated message transmission latency from the receipt timestamp; a receiver capture timestamp is assigned to receiver object data captured in the receiver. The sender object data and the receiver object data are combined according to the estimated sender capture timestamp and the receiver capture timestamp, thereby generating combined object data.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Mostafa Parchami, Linjun Zhang, Helen Elizabeth Kourous-Harrigan, Gintaras Vincent Puskorius

Publication number: 20200065663Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for classifying time series image data. Aspects of the invention include encoding motion information from video frames in an eccentricity map. An eccentricity map is essentially a static image that aggregates apparent motion of objects, surfaces, and edges, from a plurality of video frames. In general, eccentricity reflects how different a data point is from the past readings of the same set of variables. Neural networks can be trained to detect and classify actions in videos from eccentricity maps. Eccentricity maps can be provided to a neural network as input. Output from the neural network can indicate if detected motion in a video is or is not classified as an action, such as, for example, a hand gesture.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2018Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: Gaurav Kumar Singh, Pavithra Madhavan, Bruno Jales Costa, Gintaras Vincent Puskorius, Dimitar Petrov Filev
