    Abstract: A system and method for determining an object location by using map information is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a controller, an image data of a scene. An object is located within the scene. The method also includes determining, by the controller, a location of the object based on the image data of the scene. The method can also include receiving, by the controller, a map information. The map information includes at least one path information. The method also includes determining an association between the location of the object based on the image data and the map information of the scene. The method also includes determining a 3-dimensional location of the object based on the determined association.

    Abstract: A system and method of controlling operation of a host device in real-time, the host device operatively connected to an optical device and a radar device. The optical device is configured to obtain visual data of at least one object. The object is located at an incline, relative to the host device, the incline being characterized by an elevation angle (ϕ) and an azimuth angle (θ). The radar device is configured to obtain radar data, including a radial distance (r) of the object from the host device, the azimuth angle (θ), and a range rate (dr/dt). The controller is programmed to determine a time-to-contact for the host device and the object based at least partially on a 3-D position and 3-D velocity vector. The operation of the host device is controlled based at least partially on the time-to-contact.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for trailer recognition are provided. The method includes detecting a face of a trailer in a first and second image, taken at first and second distances respectively, generating a bounding box around the face of the trailer in the first and second images, determining a first and second set of feature points in the bounding boxes of the first and second images, determining a correspondence between the first set of feature points and the second set of feature points and a correspondence between corners of the bounding boxes and estimating at least one dimension of the trailer by performing a least squares analysis to solve for three-dimensional real world coordinates of the first and second set of features points and the corners of the bounding boxes. The method may assist an operator of a vehicle in aligning the vehicle hitch with a trailer coupler.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining ground clearance of a structure are provided. The method includes removing reflection points caused by noise from first reflection point information based on temporal persistency and generating second reflection point information, extracting visual features from an image of a camera based on convolutional neural network, projecting the second reflection point information onto the image, generating region proposals based on the projected second reflection point information and the image, the region proposals indicating potential horizontal structures above a path, detecting stationary horizontal structure above a path based on the generated region proposals, and determining distance between ground and the detected stationary horizontal structure based on the projected reflection point information and the image.

    Abstract: A method of determining velocity of a target and a fusion system on a moving platform to determine the velocity of the target are described. The method includes obtaining, using a radar system, position and radial velocity of the target relative to the moving platform, obtaining, using a vision system, optical flow vectors based on motion of the target relative to the moving platform, and estimating a dominant motion vector of the target based on the optical flow vectors. The method also includes processing the position, the radial velocity, and the dominant motion vector and determining the velocity of the target in two dimensions.
