Patent number: 11948367Abstract: A method and system for multi-object tracking is set forth. Object data for boundaries of a plurality of objects are received. Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture filtering is performed on the object data to form a filtered set of object data. Ultimately, the filtered set of object data is used to control the operation of the vehicle. Identifiers and probabilities are associated with the objects to reduce the set of object data.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Board of Trustees of Michigan State UniversityInventors: Hayder Radha, Su Pang

Patent number: 11790542Abstract: Accurate vehicle localization is arguably the most critical and fundamental task for autonomous vehicle navigation. While dense 3D point-cloud-based maps enable precise localization, they impose significant storage and transmission burdens when used in city-scale environments. A highly compressed representation for LiDAR maps, along with an efficient and robust real-time alignment algorithm for on-vehicle LiDAR scans, is proposed here. The proposed mapping framework, requires less than 0.1% of the storage space of the original 3D point cloud map. In essence, mapping framework emulates an original map through feature likelihood functions. In particular, the mapping framework models planar, pole and curb features. These three feature classes are long-term stable, distinct and common among vehicular roadways. Multiclass feature points are extracted from LiDAR scans through feature detection.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Board of Trustees of Michigan State UniversityInventors: Hayder Radha, Daniel Morris, Su Pang

Patent number: 11447151Abstract: Advanced automotive active-safety systems, in general, and autonomous vehicles, in particular, rely heavily on visual data to classify and localize objects, most notably pedestrians and other nearby cars, to assist the corresponding vehicles maneuver safely in their environment. However, the performance of object detection methods is anticipated to degrade under challenging rainy conditions. Nevertheless, and despite major advancements in the development of deraining approaches, the impact of rain on object detection has largely been understudied, especially in the context of autonomous systems. This disclosure analyzes this problem space and presents an improved system for detecting objects under rainy conditions.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignees: Board of Trustees of Michigan State University, Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Hayder Radha, Mazin Hnewa, Jon Diedrich, Mark Gehrke

Patent number: 11127295Abstract: By exchanging basic traffic messages among vehicles for safety applications, a significantly higher level of safety can be achieved when vehicles and designated infrastructure-locations share their sensor data. While cameras installed in one vehicle can provide visual information for mitigating many avoidable accidents, a new safety paradigm is envisioned where visual data captured by multiple vehicles are shared and fused for significantly more optimized active safety and driver assistance systems. The sharing of visual data is motivated by the fact that some critical visual views captured by one vehicle or by an infrastructure-location are not visible or captured by other vehicles in the same environment. Sharing such data in real-time provides an invaluable new level of awareness that can significantly enhance a driver-assistance, connected vehicle, and/or autonomous vehicle's safety-system.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: Board of Trustees of Michigan State UniversityInventors: Hayder Radha, Hothaifa Al-Qassab
