Patent number: 11521113Abstract: In one embodiment, example systems and methods related to a manner of unifying heterogeneous datasets are provided. Multiple heterogeneous datasets containing traffic or driving data are collected. The records of the datasets are combined, and the records in the combined dataset are ordered into a plurality of time series based on timestamps associated with each record. A Bayesian learning method, such as hidden Markov models, is used to identify traffic primitives in the datasets. Each traffic primitive may include several consecutive records in the combined dataset and may correspond to particular driving actions such as turning left or right, stopping, accelerating, etc. The traffic primitives are used to create a traffic primitive index that can be queried by users or researchers for specific records. These records can be used to train or test one or more learning-based algorithms.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGANInventors: Ding Zhao, Jiacheng Zhu, Wenshuo Wang

Patent number: 11474255Abstract: In one embodiment, example systems and methods related to a manner of optimizing LiDAR sensor placement on autonomous vehicles are provided. A range-of-interest is defined for the autonomous vehicle that includes the distances from which the autonomous vehicle is interested in collecting sensor data. The range-of-interest is segmented into multiple cubes of the same size. For each LiDAR sensor, a shape is determined based on information such as the number of lasers in each LiDAR sensor and the angle associated with each laser. An optimization problem is solved using the determined shape for each LiDAR sensor and the cubes of the range-of-interest to determine the locations to place each LiDAR sensor to maximize the number of cubes that are captured. The optimization problem may further determine the optimal pitch angle and roll angle to use for each LiDAR sensor to maximize the number of cubes that are captured.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGANInventors: Ding Zhao, Senyu Mou, Yan Chang, Wenshuo Wang
