    Abstract: Bi-directional dynamic function exchange (DFX) can include receiving a circuit design for a programmable integrated circuit (IC). The circuit design includes a plurality of DFX partitions coupled by a signal path. The circuit design can be placed using a first plurality of DFX modules for the plurality of DFX partitions, in part, by selecting a flip-flop of a connection block as a boundary flip-flop of the signal path for each DFX module of the plurality of DFX modules. The circuit design including the signal path can be routed through the selected flip-flops of the connection blocks using a bi-directional routing resource coupling the plurality of connection blocks. The bi-directional routing resource is used as a partition pin placement constraint (PPLOC) node for DFX.

  • Patent number: 12579685
    Abstract: A method of performing a camera to ground alignment for a camera system on a vehicle. The method includes determining if enabling conditions have occurred and estimating a location of a vanishing point in a source image. Ground lines are selected based on a source image. A lane line detection is performed based on clustering of the ground lines to determine lane lines in the source image. At least one of pitch, yaw, or roll of the vehicle are estimated from the source image. A cost function based on estimates of pitch, yaw, and roll is minimized to obtain an optimal pitch value, an optimal yaw value, an optimal roll value, and lane lines from the source image. A sliding window-based refinement is performed on source images. Alignment results are broadcast to a downstream application or it is determined if the camera system on the vehicle is misaligned.

  • Patent number: 12523752
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for aligning a sensor to a vehicle includes receiving a first frame of measurement from the sensor which includes a first point cloud. One or more clusters Ci representing one or more objects or the ground are segmented. A first set of feature vectors fi is computed for each cluster Ci. Based on the first set of feature vectors fi a second set of feature vectors fi? is predicted respectively using an initial transformation. A third set of feature vectors fj is computed for a second frame with a second point cloud with clusters Cj. A pair of matching clusters is identified from Ci and Cj. A feature distance between the matching clusters is computed. An alignment transformation is computed by updating the initial transformation based on the feature distance. The method further includes aligning the sensor and the vehicle based on the alignment transformation.
