  • Patent number: 11403856
    Abstract: A system, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to identify first object features from sensor data acquired by a stationary sensor at a first time step, determine second object features at a second time step. The instructions can include further instructions to determine one or more object clusters of first object features by determining distances measured in pixels between the first object features and corresponding second object features and comparing the distances to one or more mean distances and determine one or more object groups of inlier first object features in the one or more object clusters by determining a plurality of similarity transformations for a plurality of random samples of first object features and determining inlier first object features based on maximizing the number of first object features included in a similarity transformation.

  • Publication number: 20210284180
    Abstract: A system includes a shaft extendable from a vehicle roof, a sensor mount mounted to the shaft, a plurality of sensors supported by the sensor mount, and a computer communicatively coupled with one or more of the sensors to receive data from the one or more of the sensors, the computer including a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to extend the shaft to position the sensor mount to a specified height above the roof.

  • Patent number: 10616486
    Abstract: A computing system can receive a stabilized image stream, wherein the stabilized image stream is drift-corrected based on determining that an input image stream is stable and then applying drift correction to maintain a stabilized field of view, wherein the field of view is stabilized with respect to the real world. The computing system can operate a vehicle based on determining at least one moving object in the stabilized image stream.
