  • Patent number: 11866056
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for ballistically estimating vehicle data. The system may include a communication interface configured to receive a first vehicle measurement taken at a first time point and a second vehicle measurement taken at a second time point. The system may further include at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to estimate a first version of vehicle data at a first speed for each of the second time point and a plurality of intermediate time points between the first time point and the second time point based on the first vehicle measurement using a prediction model. The at least one processor may be further configured to compute a second version of vehicle data at a second speed for the second time point based on the second vehicle measurement. The first speed is faster than the second speed.

  • Patent number: 11017542
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for determining depth information in a two-dimensional (2D) image. An exemplary system may include a processor and a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform the various operations. The operations may include receiving a first feature map based on the 2D image and applying an extraction network having a convolution operation and a pooling operation to the first feature map to obtain a second feature map. The operations may also include applying a reconstruction network having a deconvolution operation to the second feature map to obtain a depth map.
