Patent number: 12190625Abstract: A device performs operations including determining a probability that a vulnerable road user (VRU) will continue on a current path (e.g., in connection with controlling an autonomous vehicle). The device receives an image depicting a vulnerable road user (VRU). The device inputs at least a portion of the image into a model, and receives, as output from the model, a plurality of probabilities describing the VRU, each of the probabilities corresponding to a probability that the VRU is in a given state. The device determines, based on at least some of the plurality of probabilities, a probability that the VRU will exhibit a behavior, and outputs the probability that the VRU will exhibit the behavior to a control system.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2023Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: Humanising Autonomy LimitedInventors: Dominic Noy, Matthew Cameron Angus, James Over Everard, Wassim El Youssoufi, Raunaq Bose, Leslie Cees Nooteboom, Maya Audrey Lara Pindeus

Patent number: 12094252Abstract: An occlusion analysis system improves accuracy of behavior prediction models by generating occlusion parameters that may inform mathematical models to generate more accurate predictions. The occlusion analysis system trains and applies models for generating occlusion parameters, such as a manner in which a person is occluded, occlusion percentage, occlusion type. A behavior prediction system may input the occlusion parameters as well as other parameters relating to activity of the human into a second mathematical model for behavior prediction. The second machine learning model is a higher-level model trained to output a prediction that the human will exhibit a future behavior and a confidence level associated with the prediction. The confidence level is at least partially determined based on the occlusion parameters.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: HUMANISING AUTONOMY LIMITEDInventors: Wassim El Youssoufi, Dominic Noy, Yazhini Chitra Pradeep, James Over Everard, Leslie Cees Nooteboom, Raunaq Bose, Maya Audrey Lara Pindeus

Publication number: 20230343062Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for tracking a vulnerable road user (VRU) regardless of occlusion. In an embodiment, the system captures a series of images including the VRU, and inputs each of the images into a detection model. The system receives a bounding box for each of the series of images of the VRU as output from the detection model. The system inputs each bounding box into a multi-task model, and receives as output from the multi-task model an embedding for each bounding box. The system determines, using the embeddings for each bounding box across the series of images, an indication of which of the embeddings correspond to the VRU.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Yazhini Chitra Pradeep, Wassim El Youssoufi, Dominic Noy, James Over Everard, Raunaq Bose, Maya Audrey Lara Pindeus, Leslie Cees Nooteboom

Publication number: 20230048304Abstract: A behavior prediction system predicts human behaviors based on environment-aware information such as camera movement data and geospatial data. The system receives sensor data of a vehicle reflecting a state of the vehicle at a given time and a given location. The system determines a field of concern in images of a video stream and determines one or more portions of images of the video stream that correspond to the field of concern. The system may apply different levels of processing powers to objects in the images based on whether an object is in the field of concern. The system then generates features of objects and identify VRUs from the objects of the video stream. For the identified VRUs, the system inputs a representation of the VRUs and the features into a machine learning model, and outputs from the machine learning model a behavioral risk assessment of the VRUs.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2021Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Leslie Cees Nooteboom, Raunaq Bose, Maya Audrey Lara Pindeus, Dominic Noy, James Over Everard, Yazhini Chitra Pradeep
