  • Patent number: 11966452
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image-based perception. The methods comprise: capturing images by a plurality of cameras with overlapping fields of view; generating, by a computing device, spatial feature maps indicating locations of features in the images; identifying, by the computing device, overlapping portions of the spatial feature maps; generating, by the computing device, at least one combined spatial feature map by combining the overlapping portions of the spatial feature maps together; and/or using, by the computing device, the at least one combined spatial feature map to define a predicted cuboid for at least one object in the images.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230394677
    Abstract: This document discloses system, method, and computer program product embodiments for image-based pedestrian speed estimation. For example, the method includes receiving an image of a scene, wherein the image includes a pedestrian and predicting a speed of the pedestrian by applying a machine-learning model to at least a portion of the image that includes the pedestrian. The machine-learning model is trained using a data set including training images of pedestrians, the training images associated with corresponding known pedestrian speeds. The method further includes providing the predicted speed of the pedestrian to a motion-planning system that is configured to control a trajectory of an autonomous vehicle in the scene.

  • Patent number: 11663807
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image-based perception. The methods comprise: obtaining, by a computing device, images captured by a plurality of cameras with overlapping fields of view; generating, by the computing device, spatial feature maps indicating locations of features in the images; defining, by the computing device, predicted cuboids at each location of an object in the images based on the spatial feature maps; and assigning, by the computing device, at least two cuboids of said predicted cuboids to a given object when predictions from images captured by separate cameras of the plurality of cameras should be associated with a same detected object.
