  • Patent number: 12259464
    Abstract: Creating and updating an accurate radar map layer for HD map using crowdsourcing may comprise a vehicle obtaining radar data and filtering the radar data on a frame-by-frame basis. In some embodiments, additional filtering may be made on a batch of frames. The vehicle can then transmit the filtered radar data responsive to a determination that a confidence of a position estimate of the vehicle exceeds a conference threshold level and/or a determination that a reliance of the position estimate of the vehicle on the radar data exceeds a reliance threshold level.

  • Publication number: 20240394931
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and techniques for wireless communications. For example, a device can receive, from a first vehicle, a view request for a visual view of a region of interest (ROI). The device can transmit a request for key points and feature descriptors related to a view of the first vehicle and respective view(s) of the other vehicle(s), and can match the key points/feature descriptors related to the other vehicle(s) and the first vehicle. The device can determine, based on the matching, at least one vehicle to provide at least one ROI view of the ROI and determine at least one mapping between the at least one vehicle and the first vehicle, which can be used to combine the at least one ROI view of the at least one vehicle with the view of the first vehicle to generate a combined image having the visual view of the ROI.

  • Patent number: 12120740
    Abstract: A method, system, or computer program product to enhance the performance of multi-hop cellular networks or other wireless networks is provided. A wireless device (e.g., cellular telephone) is able to communicate with a base-station in a cell of the cellular network over a non-cellular interface via another wireless device in the cell through the use of multi-hopping. By enabling wireless devices to communicate with a base station in such a manner, the effective coverage area of the cellular network is expanded and the effective capacity of the cellular network is improved. Distributed routing, device management, adaptive scheduling, and distributed algorithms can be used to enhance the overall performance of multi-hop cellular networks.

  • Publication number: 20240283657
    Abstract: Systems and methods involving various registration and authentication workflows are disclosed herein. A user may be authenticated without the use of static usernames or passwords. In some embodiments, an authentication identifier may be generated that is associated with an authentication request for a user to access a protected resource (e.g., a web app). An authentication code may be generated based on the authentication identifier. The authentication code may be sent to a computing device to be provided to the user, who may provide the authentication code to an application on their mobile device. The mobile device may send a payload containing the authentication identifier, credentials saved on the user device from a previous registration step, and a digital signature. The digital signature may be authenticated using contents of the payload before validating the authentication identifier.

    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for vehicle localization. For instance, a process can include obtaining a point corresponding to a target in an environment, the point indicating a location of the target in the environment, and wherein the point is a non-semantic point for use with a non-semantic layer (NSL) of a map, obtaining pose information indicating a heading of a vehicle, generating a map point based on a quantization of the obtained point, and outputting the generated map point to a map server. For another instance, a process can include obtaining a NSL of a map of an environment, the NSL including a map point corresponding to a target in the environment, wherein the point is a non-semantic point; determining, based on a comparison between the pose information and the heading information, that the target is relevant to the vehicle; and transmitting the map point to the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240202965
    Abstract: Aspects relate to techniques for estimating relative pose leveraging lane markers. A first wireless communication device may receive a message from a second wireless communication device including a plurality of visual features (e.g., keypoints) of an image captured by the second wireless communication device, lane features identifying two (or more) traffic lane markers, and respective two-point two-line (2L2P) metrics for pairs of keypoints based on the traffic lane markers. The first wireless communication device may then obtain additional features from an additional image captured by the first wireless communication device and identify matching keypoints of the additional features for which the respective 2L2P metrics are satisfied. The first wireless communication device may then calculate a relative pose of the first wireless communication device with respect to the second wireless communication device based on the matching features.

  • Patent number: 11849394
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) in a vehicle (V-UE) broadcasts multi-phased ranging signals with which other entities may determine the range to the V-UE. The multi-phased ranging signals may include a first message, which may be broadcast in the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) spectrum, includes ranging information, such as a source identifier, location information for the broadcasting V-UE, and an expected time of broadcast of the ranging signal. The ranging signal may then be broadcast at the expected time and may include the source identifier. A second message, which be broadcast in the ITS spectrum, may include clock error information for the V-UE. A receiving entity may determine the range to the V-UE based on the time of arrival of the ranging signal and the expected time of transmission, as well as the clock error information. The receiving entity may further generate a position estimate based on the received location information.

  • Patent number: 11636693
    Abstract: Association algorithms of newly-detected lane boundaries to lane boundaries can be made more robust through the use of generated or “dummy” states. Different types of dummy states can be used to identify outlier/erroneous detections and/or new, legitimate lane boundaries. Therefore, depending on a type of dummy state a newly-detected lane boundary is associated with, the newly-detected lane boundary can be ignored, or the associated dummy state can be added to the lane boundary states of the filter.
