Patents by Inventor Oytun Ulutan

Oytun Ulutan 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).

  • Patent number: 12260651
    Abstract: A system for faster object attribute and/or intent classification may include an machine-learned (ML) architecture that processes temporal sensor data (e.g., multiple instances of sensor data received at different times) and includes a cache in an intermediate layer of the ML architecture. The ML architecture may be capable of classifying an object's intent to enter a roadway, idling near a roadway, or active crossing of a roadway. The ML architecture may additionally or alternatively classify indicator states, such as indications to turn, stop, or the like. Other attributes and/or intentions are discussed herein.

  • Patent number: 12240497
    Abstract: There is provided methods, systems, and computer-readable media for determining intention of bicycles and other person-wide vehicles. A method comprises: receiving, from one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle, sensor data relating to an external environment of the autonomous vehicle; detecting, based at least in part on the sensor data, a person-wide vehicle in the external environment proximate to the autonomous vehicle; determining, based at least in part on the sensor data and the person-wide vehicle, image data including the person-wide vehicle; inputting the image data to a machine-learned model; receiving, from the machine-learned model based on the image data, a future intention of the person-wide vehicle; and controlling the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the future intention of the person-wide vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12236705
    Abstract: Techniques for detecting attributes and/or gestures associated with pedestrians in an environment are described herein. The techniques may include receiving sensor data associated with a pedestrian in an environment of a vehicle and inputting the sensor data into a machine-learned model that is configured to determine a gesture and/or an attribute of the pedestrian. Based on the input data, an output may be received from the machine-learned model that indicates the gesture and/or the attribute of the pedestrian and the vehicle may be controlled based at least in part on the gesture and/or the attribute of the pedestrian. The techniques may also include training the machine-learned model to detect the attribute and/or the gesture of the pedestrian.
