Abstract:
According to some aspects of the disclosure, techniques for compression techniques for the radar data that can be used in real-time applications for automated or self-driving vehicles. One or more compression techniques can be selected and/or configured based on information regarding operational conditions provided by a central (vehicle) computer. Operational conditions can include environmental data (e.g., weather, traffic), processing capabilities, mode of operation, and more. Compression techniques can facilitate transport of compressed radar data from a radar sensor to the central computer for processing of the radar data for object detection, identification, positioning, etc.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for vehicle driving assistance systems that support image processing. In a first aspect, a computing device receives a predicted depth map determined by a model and determines differences between the predicted depth map and a depth mask. The depth mask may be predetermined to include values indicating a probability that a corresponding region of the predicted depth map is a sky region. A first loss term for the predicted depth map is determined based on the differences and the model is trained based on the first loss term. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
A method of exploiting activation sparsity in deep neural networks is described. The method includes retrieving an activation tensor and a weight tensor where the activation tensor is a sparse activation tensor. The method also includes generating a compressed activation tensor comprising non-zero activations of the activation tensor, where the compressed activation tensor has fewer columns than the activation tensor. The method further includes processing the compressed activation tensor and the weight tensor to generate an output tensor.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for a hybrid parallel-serial memory access by a system on chip (SoC). The SoC is electrically coupled to the memory by both a parallel access channel and a separate serial access channel. A request for access to the memory is received. In response to receiving the request to access the memory, a type of memory access is identified. A determination is then made whether to access the memory with the serial access channel. In response to the determination to access the memory with the serial access channel, a first portion of the memory is accessed with the parallel access channel, and a second portion of the memory is accessed with the serial access channel.
Abstract:
A system for data decompression may include a processor coupled to a remote memory having a remote dictionary stored thereon and coupled to a decompression logic having a local memory with a local dictionary. The processor may decompress data during execution by accessing the local dictionary, and if necessary, the remote dictionary.
Abstract:
Data compression systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed. For each successive input word of an input stream, it is determined whether the input word matches an entry in a lookback table. The lookback table is updated in response to the input word. Input words may be of a number of data types, including zero runs and full or partial matches with an entry in the lookback table. A codeword is generated by entropy encoding a data type corresponding to the input word. The lookback table may be indexed by the position of the input word in the input stream.
Abstract:
A multi-pass compression iteratively removes combinations of bits from locations in each word of a cache line of an uncompressed data stream. For each combination of removed bits, the remaining bits in the word values of the cache line are analyzed to generate a compression score. A highest compression score triggers the building of a dictionary from the remaining bits in the word values of the cache line. After a dictionary is built, the method may continue iteratively to create subsequent dictionaries from the words that remain uncompressed in the cache line. To decompress a word, a first bit section of the compressed word is used to identify a dictionary that is then queried for bits indexed in a second bit section of the compressed word. The uncompressed word is reconstructed by interleaving the queried bits with the removed combination of bits from a third bit section of the word.
Abstract:
A processing system for cross-sensor calibration is configured to perform a first edge detection process on a camera image to generate an edge detected camera image, and perform a second edge detection process on a point cloud frame to generate an edge detected point cloud frame. The processing system projects the edge detected point cloud frame onto the edge detected camera image using an initial calibration matrix, determines an objective function representing an overlap of points in the edge detected point cloud frame and corresponding edge pixel values in the edge detected camera image, and determines a final calibration matrix based on the objective function.
Abstract:
Example systems and techniques are described for controlling operation of a vehicle and training a machine learning model for controlling operation of a vehicle. A system includes memory configured to store point cloud data associated with the vehicle and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory. The one or more processors are configured to determine a depth map indicative of distance of one or more objects to the vehicle and control operation of a vehicle based on the depth map. The depth map is based on executing a machine learning model, the machine learning model being trained with a slice loss function determined from training point cloud data having a respective depth that is greater than the average depth for a set of points of the point cloud data plus a threshold.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for vehicle driving assistance systems that support image processing. In a first aspect, a computing device may receive a predicted depth map and a measured depth map and may determine a time difference between the predicted depth map and the measured depth map. A supervision loss term may be determined based on the time difference, such as by weighting the supervision loss term based on the time difference. The computing device may train a model based on the supervision loss term, such as a model that generated the predicted depth map. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
