Patents by Inventor Mehdi Sajjadi Mohammadabadi

Mehdi Sajjadi Mohammadabadi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240101118
    Abstract: In various examples, live perception from sensors of a vehicle may be leveraged to detect and classify intersections in an environment of a vehicle in real-time or near real-time. For example, a deep neural network (DNN) may be trained to compute various outputs—such as bounding box coordinates for intersections, intersection coverage maps corresponding to the bounding boxes, intersection attributes, distances to intersections, and/or distance coverage maps associated with the intersections. The outputs may be decoded and/or post-processed to determine final locations of, distances to, and/or attributes of the detected intersections.

  • Publication number: 20240020953
    Abstract: In various examples, feature values corresponding to a plurality of views are transformed into feature values of a shared orientation or perspective to generate a feature map—such as a Bird's-Eye-View (BEV), top-down, orthogonally projected, and/or other shared perspective feature map type. Feature values corresponding to a region of a view may be transformed into feature values using a neural network. The feature values may be assigned to bins of a grid and values assigned to at least one same bin may be combined to generate one or more feature values for the feature map. To assign the transformed features to the bins, one or more portions of a view may be projected into one or more bins using polynomial curves. Radial and/or angular bins may be used to represent the environment for the feature map.

  • Publication number: 20230267701
    Abstract: In various examples, sensor data representative of an image of a field of view of a vehicle sensor may be received and the sensor data may be applied to a machine learning model. The machine learning model may compute a segmentation mask representative of portions of the image corresponding to lane markings of the driving surface of the vehicle. Analysis of the segmentation mask may be performed to determine lane marking types, and lane boundaries may be generated by performing curve fitting on the lane markings corresponding to each of the lane marking types. The data representative of the lane boundaries may then be sent to a component of the vehicle for use in navigating the vehicle through the driving surface.
