  • Patent number: 11948249
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for estimating a 3D bounding box (3DBB) from a 2D bounding box (2DBB). Conventional techniques to estimate 3DBB from 2DBB rely upon classifying target vehicles within the 2DBB. When the target vehicle is misclassified, the projected bounding box from the estimated 3DBB is inaccurate. To address such issues, it is proposed to estimate the 3DBB without relying upon classifying the target vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11630197
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for determining a motion state of a target object. In an aspect, an on-board computer of an ego vehicle detects the target object in one or more images, determines one or more first attributes of the target object based on measurements of the one or more images, determines one or more second attributes of the target object based on measurements of a map of a roadway on which the target object is travelling, and determines the motion state of the target object based on the one or more first attributes and the one or more second attributes of the target object.

  • Patent number: 11544940
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for lane estimation. In aspects, a method includes receiving a plurality of camera frames captured by a camera sensor of a vehicle, assigning a first subset of the plurality of camera frames to a deep learning (DL) detector and a second subset of the plurality of camera frames to a computer vision (CV) detector based on availability of the DL and CV detectors, identifying a first set of lane boundary lines in a first camera frame processed by the DL detector, identifying a second set of lane boundary lines in a second camera frame processed by the CV detector, generating first and second sets of lane models based on the first and second sets of lane boundary lines, and updating a set of previously identified lane models based on the first set of lane models and/or the second set of lane models.

  • Patent number: 11373332
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for determining features of one or more objects in one or more images. For example, an image of an object and a three-dimensional model associated with the object can be obtained. From the image, a sample point on the object can be determined. A depth and an angle of the sample point of the object can be determined. A pose and a shape of the three-dimensional model associated with the object can be determined based on the depth and the angle.

  • Patent number: 11195028
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for estimating multiple lane boundaries through simultaneous detection of lane markers (LM) and raised pavement markers (RPM). Conventional techniques for lane marker detection (LMD) comprises extracting and clustering line segments from a camera image, fitting the clustered lines to a geometric model, and selecting the multiple lanes using heuristic approaches. Unfortunately, in the conventional technique, an error from each step is sequentially propagated to the next step. Also there are no techniques to estimate both LMs and RPMs. A technique to simultaneously detect in real time both LM and RPMs is proposed. This enables optimal estimation of multiple lane boundaries.
