    Abstract: A system and method for fisheye image processing is disclosed. A particular embodiment can be configured to: receive fisheye image data from at least one fisheye lens camera associated with an autonomous vehicle, the fisheye image data representing at least one fisheye image frame; partition the fisheye image frame into a plurality of image portions representing portions of the fisheye image frame; warp each of the plurality of image portions to map an arc of a camera projected view into a line corresponding to a mapped target view, the mapped target view being generally orthogonal to a line between a camera center and a center of the arc of the camera projected view; combine the plurality of warped image portions to form a combined resulting fisheye image data set representing recovered or distortion-reduced fisheye image data corresponding to the fisheye image frame; generate auto-calibration data representing a correspondence between pixels in the at least one fisheye image frame and corresponding pixels in the combined resulting fisheye image data set; and provide the combined resulting fisheye image data set as an output for other autonomous vehicle subsystems.

    Abstract: A system and method for vehicle occlusion detection is disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: receiving training image data from a training image data collection system; obtaining ground truth data corresponding to the training image data; performing a training phase to train a plurality of classifiers, a first classifier being trained for processing static images of the training image data, a second classifier being trained for processing image sequences of the training image data; receiving image data from an image data collection system associated with an autonomous vehicle; and performing an operational phase including performing feature extraction on the image data, determining a presence of an extracted feature instance in multiple image frames of the image data by tracing the extracted feature instance back to a previous plurality of N frames relative to a current frame, applying the first trained classifier to the extracted feature instance if the extracted feature instance cannot be determined to be present in multiple image frames of the image data, and applying the second trained classifier to the extracted feature instance if the extracted feature instance can be determined to be present in multiple image frames of the image data.
