  • Image-based target tracking
    Patent number: 11195286
    Abstract: A device for image processing includes a memory configured to store multiple image frames of a sequence of image frames. The device includes a reference frame accumulator configured to combine a first group of image frames of the sequence of image frames to generate a reference frame. The device also includes a target frame accumulator configured to combine a second group of image frames of the sequence of image frames to generate a target frame. The device includes a difference frame generator configured to generate a difference frame based on subtracting the reference frame from the target frame.
    Type: Grant

  • Broadcasting system for autonomous vehicles
    Patent number: 10636307
    Abstract: A broadcasting system for an autonomous vehicle is disclosed and includes an antenna, a plurality of sensors, one or more processors, and a memory coupled to the processors. The antenna is configured to send and receive wireless communication, and the antenna receives publically available wireless signals. The sensors are configured to generate signals indicating a real-time velocity and a real-time direction of travel of the autonomous vehicle. The processors are in communication with the antenna and the plurality of sensors. The memory stores data comprising program code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to receive as input the publically available wireless signals and the signals indicating the real-time velocity and the real-time direction of travel of the autonomous vehicle. The system is further caused to determine a real-time velocity and real-time direction of travel of autonomous vehicle.
