  • Patent number: 11941979
    Abstract: The present application discloses a traffic light control method for an urban road network based on expected return estimation, which uses C-V2X wireless communication technology to obtain real-time information of all vehicles and traffic state in the road network from vehicle-mounted terminals, and adaptively and dynamically controls the phase transformation of the traffic light. According to the present application, the expected returns of keeping the current phase and executing phase switch are calculated by estimating the timely driving distance and the future driving distance of the passable vehicles in the next green light duration in combination with the proposed road priority traffic index. By comparing the expected returns of keeping the current phase or switching to other phases, the best phase is selected, so as to make as many passable vehicles travel farther as possible in the next green light duration. Therefore, the efficiency of traffic will be improved.

  • Publication number: 20240071099
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method and a device for estimating the position of a networked vehicle based on independent non-uniform increment sampling. By mapping a laser radar point cloud to a spatiotemporal aligned image, independent non-uniform increment sampling is carried out on the mapping points falling in an advanced semantic constraint region of the image according to a point density of the depth interval where the mapping points are located, and the virtual mapping points generated by sampling are reversely mapped to the original point cloud space and merged with the original point cloud, and the combined point cloud is used to estimate the position of the networked vehicle based on a deep learning method, so as to solve the inaccurate position estimation problem of sheltered or remote networked vehicles due to the sparseness or missing of its own point cloud clusters.

  • Patent number: 11085888
    Abstract: X-ray microscopy tomography scanning systems are not constrained by continuous scanning trajectories like in medical scanners. In fact, the source and detector can be held stationary during subsequent image capture producing a discrete sampling pattern. For such systems, a method of producing an optimized, even illumination of the object by choosing source/detector locations on a surface of an imaginary cylinder surrounding the object is disclosed. The locations, in one example, form a regular lattice with even coverage on the surface of that cylinder, rather than at locations along a continuous curve such as a helix. Using this method, the effective pitch may be increased beyond the theoretical limit imposed by helical scanning, allowing a greater range of y-axis coverage for the same number of projection angles, corresponding to an increase in throughput.
