Abstract: Systems and methods for platooning using aspects of various cruise control systems are described. In one aspect, a platooning system may cause an engine to provide a desired amount of torque by commanding a cruise control system to cause an amount of torque provided by the engine to be limited. In one aspect, a platooning system may cause a platoon to end in response to the detection of a condition that would cause a cruise control system to exit a cruise control state, such as pressing a brake pedal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for platooning vehicles are described. In some aspects, vehicles use sensors to determine a gap between each other. In response to the gap increasing beyond a threshold amount, and a threshold amount of torque being commanded by each of the vehicles, reducing the amount of torque being commanded by the front vehicle. The gap may be determined at least in part by sensors such as a radar, a lidar, and/or a camera. These sensors may be mounted on either a rear vehicle in the platoon, or a front vehicle in the platoon.

Abstract: A method including imaging a first field of view (FOV) of a volume of interest (VOI) that includes a region of interest (ROI) from a first position and imaging the first FOV of the VOI from a second position. The method including receiving a first identification of a first portion of the imaged VOI designating the ROI to be imaged and a second identification of a second portion of the imaged VOI from the second position designating the ROI to be imaged. In response to the first identification, adjusting an aperture of a collimator of an imaging source to a second FOV corresponding to the ROI from the first position and imaging the ROI using the second FOV. In response to the second identification, adjusting the aperture of the collimator to a third FOV corresponding to the ROI from the second position and imaging the ROI using the third FOV.

Abstract: A method of ambient light suppression in an imaging system, including illuminating leaves of a multi-leaf collimator (MLC) with a first light of a lighting system inside a housing of the MCL, receiving ambient light inside the housing of the MLC through an aperture of the MLC, and capturing, using an imaging system having optics situated inside the housing of the MLC, an image of the leaves of the MLC illuminated with the first light and the ambient light. The method may further include, suppressing the ambient light in the first image to generate a second image of the leaves of the MLC and detecting a feature of the leaves of the MLC in the second image.
