  • Vehicle scratch detection system and vehicle
    Patent number: 11460376
    Abstract: A vehicle scratch detection system includes a scratch detection element, disposed on a vehicle body and capable of detecting a scratch of the vehicle body, a control unit, configured to be capable of analyzing and processing detection information of the scratch detection element and determining information related to scratch, and an alarm device. The control unit is capable of triggering the alarm device to send an alarm signal according to a result of the analyzing and processing.

  • Method, device and system for configuration of a sensor on a moving object
    Patent number: 10958846
    Abstract: A method for configuring a sensor, which is adapted to be installed on a moving object, includes obtaining localization information of the sensor from a localization device, obtaining characteristic information and localization information of at least one element from a digital map, and choosing one or more elements of the at least one element in the digital map. The method also includes configuring the sensor according to the characteristic information and/or the localization information of the one or more chosen elements.

  • Method and apparatus for uncertainty modeling of point cloud
    Patent number: 10740962
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for uncertainty modeling of a point cloud and a non-transient storage medium are provided. The method finds the neighboring points for each point; fits a local quadratic surface for each point; and generates a Gaussian Model (GM) for representing the uncertainty modeling of the local surface at each point. The GM is constructed in a piece-wise manner on the underlying surface of the point cloud, which will accurately model the surface uncertainty.

  • Method, Device and System for Localizing a Moving Object
    Publication number: 20190360817
    Abstract: A method for localization of a moving object includes obtaining a digital map comprising road feature information, receiving position change information of the moving object, and obtaining trace feature information of the moving object by processing the position change information of the moving object. The method further includes determining a localization of the moving object according to similarity between the trace feature information of the moving object and the road feature information.
