  • Publication number: 20180067492
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to implement multi-level sensor fusion in an assisted or automated driving system of a vehicle. The computing system can populate an environment model with raw measurement data captured by sensors mounted in a vehicle and with data corresponding to a possible object in an coordinate field associated with the environmental model. The computing system can combine at least a portion of the raw measurement data with the data corresponding to the possible object, and detect an object proximate to the vehicle based, at least in part, on the combination of the raw measurement data and the data corresponding to the possible object. A control system for the vehicle can control operation of the vehicle based, at least in part, on the tracked detection event.

  • Publication number: 20180067489
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to implement low-level sensor fusion in an assisted or automated driving system of a vehicle. The low-level sensor fusion can include receiving raw measurement data from sensors in the vehicle and temporally aligning the raw measurement data based on a time of capture. The low-level sensor fusion can include spatially aligning measurement coordinate fields of the sensors into an environmental coordinate field based, at least in part, on where the sensors are mounted in the vehicle, and then populating the environmental coordinate field with raw measurement data captured by the sensors based on the spatial alignment of the measurement coordinate fields to the environmental coordinate field. The low-level sensor fusion can detect at least one detection event or object based, at least in part, on the raw measurement data from multiple sensors as populated in the environmental coordinate field.

  • Publication number: 20180067495
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to implement event-driven region of interest management in an assisted or automated driving system of a vehicle. The computing system can identify a portion of an environmental model for a vehicle that corresponds to a region of interest for a driving functionality system. The computing system can detect at least one event associated with the region of interest in the environmental model, and provide data corresponding to the detected event to the driving functionality system. The driving functionality system can utilize the data corresponding to the detected event to control operation of the vehicle.
