  • Patent number: 12158761
    Abstract: Provided are methods for location based parameters for an image sensor, which can include determining the geographic location of the vehicle, adjusting the parameters of the image sensor of the vehicle from a first setting to a second setting based on the geographic location of the vehicle, receiving sensor data associated with the image sensor based on the second setting, and processing the sensor data to generate an image. Systems and computer program products are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240123914
    Abstract: Vehicle sensor lens hoods for reduction of straylight on an image sensor lens, which can include a body, a first aperture, and a second aperture. The lens hood can further be associated with a structure, such as a fascia, of a vehicle. Vehicles and autonomous vehicles products are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240070915
    Abstract: Provided are methods for maintaining intrinsic calibration of IBIS cameras, which can include obtaining a first camera sensor position at which a movable sensor of a camera is positioned when the camera captures a first image, selecting, from at least one database including a plurality of intrinsic calibration data sets indexed by a respective plurality of second camera sensor positions, one of the plurality of second camera sensor positions based on the first camera sensor position of the movable sensor, retrieving, from the at least one database and for the camera, a first intrinsic calibration data set, of the plurality of intrinsic calibration data sets, that is indexed by the selected one of the plurality of second camera sensor positions, and rectifying, by the at least one processor, the first image using the first intrinsic calibration data set of the camera retrieved from the at least one database.

  • Patent number: 11887338
    Abstract: Provided are methods for maintaining calibration of an IBIS camera, which can include receiving a first initial extrinsic calibration of a first camera having a first sensor; determining a first translation of the first sensor based on a second position thereof when the first camera captures a first image; determining a first extrinsic translation shift based at least upon the first translation; and updating the first initial extrinsic calibration to yield a first modified extrinsic calibration for the first camera. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230264653
    Abstract: A system includes a verification engine communicatively coupled to a sensing device and a database, the verification engine receives first authentication data, retrieves, from the database, second authentication data associated with a stored vehicle identifier to compare the vehicle identifier to the stored vehicle identifier to determine whether the vehicle identifier matches the stored vehicle identifier. In a case the vehicle identifier matches the stored vehicle identifier the user device is authenticated and access to the vehicle is provided.
