    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an autonomous vehicle and a system for the autonomous vehicle. The system includes a master computing unit (102) configured to control operations of the autonomous vehicle; a slave computing unit (104) communicatively coupled to the master computing unit (102) and configured to control the operations of the autonomous vehicle in response to detecting a failure of the master computing unit (102); at least one lidar (116, 118) configured to acquire environmental information around the autonomous vehicle; and a switch (106) communicatively coupled to the at least one lidar (116, 118), the master computing unit (102) and the slave computing unit (104), and configured to provide the environmental information to the master computing unit (102) and the slave computing unit (104) for controlling the autonomous vehicle. Since the master computing unit and the slave computing unit are provided, the autonomous vehicle 10 can enter the limp mode when any one of the master computing unit or the slave computing unit fails, to ensure the safety of the autonomous vehicle. In this way, at least L4 autonomous driving can be achieved.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for calibrating a camera are provided. A specific embodiment of the method includes: acquiring an image-point cloud sequence, the image-point cloud sequence including at least one group of an initial image and point cloud data collected at a same time, the initial image being collected by a camera provided on an autonomous vehicle and the point cloud data being collected by a radar provided on the autonomous vehicle; determining target point cloud data of initial images corresponding to groups of image-point cloud in the image-point cloud sequence; and matching the target point cloud data with the corresponding initial images in the image-point cloud sequence to determine a correction parameter of the camera.

    摘要: An autonomous vehicle (100) comprises: a plurality of side laser radars (102, 104, 106, 108) respectively provided on a plurality of side portions (101, 103, 105, 107) of the autonomous vehicle (100), each of the plurality of side laser radars (102, 104, 106, 108) being partially embedded in a corresponding side portion of the plurality of side portions (101, 103, 105, 107); and a top laser radar (110) provided on a top portion (109) of the autonomous vehicle (100) and configured to obtain environmental information around the autonomous vehicle (100) together with the plurality of side laser radars (102, 104, 106, 108). By providing the plurality of laser radars (102, 104, 106, 108, 110), a sensing blind spot of the autonomous vehicle (100) may be avoided.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for outputting information. A specific embodiment of the method includes: acquiring point cloud data and image data collected by a vehicle during a driving process; determining a plurality of time thresholds based on a preset time threshold value range; executing following processing for each time threshold: identifying obstacles included in each point cloud frame and each image frame respectively; determining a similarity between the obstacles; determining, in response to the similarity being greater than a preset similarity threshold, whether a time interval between the point cloud frame and the image frame corresponding to two similar obstacles is less than the time threshold; and processing recognized obstacles based on a determining result, to determine the number of obstacles; and determining, based on a plurality of numbers, and outputting a target time threshold. This embodiment can determine the time threshold based on the number of obstacles, thereby achieving automatic adjustment of the time threshold without the need of manual adjustment.
