  • Publication number: 20250110230
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate techniques and systems for generating multi-axis radar velocity images using stereo radar. A vehicle radar system receives radar first radar data from a first radar and second radar data from a second radar, which are coupled at different locations on a vehicle traveling in an environment. The system determines a first radial speed and a second radial speed for an object based on the first and second radar data, respectively, and then estimates a velocity vector for the object relative to the vehicle based on the first and second radial speeds. The system can provide the estimated velocity vector as an input into a neural network and enable vehicle systems to control the vehicle based on the output from the neural network.

  • Patent number: 11651553
    Abstract: A method and a system for generating a mesh representation of a surface. The method includes receiving a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud representing the surface, generating a reconstruction dataset having a higher resolution than the 3D point cloud in one or more regions corresponding to the surface from the 3D point cloud, and generate a polygon mesh representation of the surface by using a fine-to-coarse hash map for building polygons at a highest resolution first followed by progressively coarser resolution polygons, using the reconstruction dataset.

  • Patent number: 11164369
    Abstract: A method and a system for generating a mesh representation of a surface. The method includes receiving a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud representing the surface, identifying and discarding one or more outliers in the 3D point cloud to generate a filtered point cloud using a Gaussian process, adding one or more additional points to the filtered point cloud to generate a reconstruction dataset, and using Poisson surface reconstruction to generate an implicit surface corresponding to the surface from the reconstruction dataset.
