  • Patent number: 12155716
    Abstract: Provided is a data transmission system, a vehicle comprising the data transmission system, a data transmission method and a computer program. Specifically, the system comprises a centralized controller, a publisher entity and a subscriber entity; wherein the publisher entity and the subscriber entity are compiled with a predefined data format; the publisher entity registers at the centralized controller with topic information; the centralized controller, upon registration of the publisher entity, stores the topic information with information for registering at the publisher entity; the subscriber entity subscribes at the centralized controller to the topic information; the centralized controller, upon subscription of the subscriber entity, provides to the subscriber entity information for registering at the publisher entity; and the subscriber entity creates the communication channel between the publisher entity and the subscriber entity based on the information for registering at the publisher entity.

  • Publication number: 20240096102
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that relate to freespace detection using machine learning models. First data that may include object labels may be obtained from a first sensor and freespace may be identified using the first data and the object labels. The first data may be annotated to include freespace labels that correspond to freespace within an operational environment. Freespace annotated data may be generated by combining the one or more freespace labels with second data obtained from a second sensor, with the freespace annotated data corresponding to a viewable area in the operational environment. The viewable area may be determined by tracing one or more rays from the second sensor within the field of view of the second sensor relative to the first data. The freespace annotated data may be input into a machine learning model to train the machine learning model to detect freespace using the second data.

  • Publication number: 20220302901
    Abstract: A method for automatically determining and using noise statistics of noisy observation data provided by at least one sensor connected to a tracker, in order to improve tracking of a time-varying object across a scene using a Kalman algorithm. The Kalman algorithm allowing to get an estimation of dynamic parameters of the object and providing a precision of said estimation from said noisy observation data and from a corrected previous estimation. The method includes receiving reference data from a data source external to the Kalman algorithm and connected to the tracker, deriving, from said reference data, said noise statistics reflecting errors made by the sensor, and using said noise statistics as setting parameters of the Kalman algorithm.

  • Patent number: 11372087
    Abstract: A radar system suitable for an automated vehicle comprises at least one receiving element configured to detect reflected radar signals reflected by an object in a field-of-view of the system. The receiving element is further configured to generate detected signals indicative of the reflected radar signals detected by the receiving element. Furthermore, an auto-encoding device performing an auto-encoding operation on the detected signals is embedded in the receiving element such that the receiving element outputs the detected signals in an encoded form.
