  • Publication number: 20250095346
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for generating a three-dimensional (3D) ground truth (GT). The method includes obtaining 3D GT of a target object by using data obtained by a lidar, obtaining a 2D box for the obtained 3D GT by projecting the obtained 3D GT onto a 2D plane, comparing the 2D box with a box of a 2D GT for the target object obtained by a camera, and generating a final 3D GT for the target object by correcting the obtained 3D GT based on a comparison result.

  • Patent number: 11441455
    Abstract: A method of controlling an oil pump of a vehicle includes: acquiring, by a controller, information on an engine operating state or a driving condition detected by a driving information detection part; determining, by the controller, whether a predetermined condition of an alternate mode is satisfied on the basis of the acquired information on the engine operating state or the driving condition; and, when the condition of the alternate mode is satisfied, sequentially performing, by the controller, a high-pressure operation control that controls an operation of an oil pump system so as to an oil pressure of an engine to converge on a predetermined target high-pressure value and a low-pressure operation control that controls the oil pressure of the engine to converge on a predetermined target low-pressure value.

  • Publication number: 20160376938
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an intermediate phase adjustment apparatus of a CVVT (Continuous Variable Valve Timing). This apparatus includes a pressure adjusting means balancing pressure of chambers by selectively allowing oil to be moved from a chamber at relatively high pressure to a chamber at relatively low pressure. One way to achieve this is by a pressure difference through an oil line, through which the oil can move in only one direction between the chambers.
