    Abstract: A prediction-based system and method for trajectory planning of autonomous vehicles are disclosed. A particular embodiment is configured to: receive training data and ground truth data from a training data collection system, the training data including perception data and context data corresponding to human driving behaviors; perform a training phase for training a trajectory prediction module using the training data; receive perception data associated with a host vehicle; and perform an operational phase for extracting host vehicle feature data and proximate vehicle context data from the perception data, generating a proposed trajectory for the host vehicle, using the trained trajectory prediction module to generate predicted trajectories for each of one or more proximate vehicles near the host vehicle based on the proposed host vehicle trajectory, determining if the proposed trajectory for the host vehicle will conflict with any of the predicted trajectories of the proximate vehicles, and modifying the proposed trajectory for the host vehicle until conflicts are eliminated.

    Abstract: A system and method for semantic segmentation using hybrid dilated convolution (HDC) are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: receiving an input image; producing a feature map from the input image; performing a convolution operation on the feature map and producing multiple convolution layers; grouping the multiple convolution layers into a plurality of groups; applying different dilation rates for different convolution layers in a single group of the plurality of groups; and applying a same dilation rate setting across all groups of the plurality of groups.

    Abstract: A system and method for path planning of autonomous vehicles based on gradient are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: generating and scoring a first suggested trajectory for an autonomous vehicle; generating a trajectory gradient based on the first suggested trajectory; generating and scoring a second suggested trajectory for the autonomous vehicle, the second suggested trajectory being based on the first suggested trajectory and a human driving model; and outputting the second suggested trajectory if the score corresponding to the second suggested trajectory is within a score differential threshold relative to the score corresponding to the first suggested trajectory.

    Abstract: A system and method for image localization based on semantic segmentation are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: receiving image data from an image generating device mounted on an autonomous vehicle; performing semantic segmentation or other object detection on the received image data to identify and label objects in the image data and produce semantic label image data; identifying extraneous objects in the semantic label image data; removing the extraneous objects from the semantic label image data; comparing the semantic label image data to a baseline semantic label map; and determining a vehicle location of the autonomous vehicle based on information in a matching baseline semantic label map.

    Abstract: A method of visual odometry for a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs is disclosed. The one or more programs includes instructions, which when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform the following steps comprising: performing data alignment among sensors including a LiDAR, cameras and an IMU-GPS module; collecting image data and generating point clouds; processing, in the IMU-GPS module, a pair of consecutive images in the image data to recognize pixels corresponding to a same point in the point clouds; and establishing an optical flow for visual odometry.
