Abstract: A system and method of using surround view for calculating coordinates for localization of a vehicle includes continuously receiving optical data from an optical sensing system having one or more cameras, detecting ground truth data, and storing the ground truth data within a memory. Utilizing a path planner, the method calculates a first path from a first location to a second location different from the first location and moves the vehicle from the first to the second location along the first path. As the vehicle is moved, the method tracks a position of the second location relative to the vehicle and predicts a position of the vehicle relative to the second location based on a current operating state of the vehicle positioning systems and the first path. The method periodically adjusts the first path in response to the optical data as the vehicle moves between the first and second locations.

Abstract: A system and method for calculating coordinates for localization of a vehicle include continuously receive optical data from an optical sensing system having one or more cameras, and detect one or more parking spots within the optical data. The system and method determine a first location of the vehicle relative to the one or more parking spots, and plan a first path from a first location to second location different from the first location. One or more vehicle positioning systems is engaged to move the vehicle from the first location to the second location, and the first path is adjusted in real time in response to the optical data as the vehicle moves between the first location and the second location. The one or more vehicle positioning systems is then to adjust movement of the vehicle along the first path once the first path has been adjusted.

Abstract: A guard sensor injects a multi-GHz (multi giga-bit) guard signal along a guard signal transmission path above an observable knee in the amplitude response of the path to define a guarded region and to detect physical or electromagnetic intrusions of that guarded region. At frequencies above the knee, the signal transmission path exhibits increasingly non-linear and even chaotic behavior that improves the overall sensitivity of the sensor and its ability to detect slight changes in the distributed transmission parameters that characterize circuit devices, signal paths and signals. The guarded region may be used to protect a combination of circuit devices, physical connections, interfaces, high and low frequency signal transmission paths and signals.
