    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for vehicle navigation. In one implementation, a navigation system for a host vehicle may comprise at least one processor. The processor may be programmed to receive from a camera onboard the host vehicle a plurality of captured images representative of an environment of the host vehicle. The processor may provide each of the plurality of captured images to a target object analysis module including at least one trained model configured to generate an output for each of the plurality of captured image. The processor may receive from the target object analysis module the generated output. The processor may further determine at least one navigational action to be taken by the host vehicle based on the output generated by the target object analysis module. The processor may cause the at least one navigational action to be taken by the host vehicle.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for calibrating a multi-camera navigation system for a vehicle. In one implementation, at least one processing device may receive first and second image frames acquired by a first camera onboard the vehicle; receive first and second image frames acquired by a second camera onboard the vehicle; determine a first ego-motion signal, including an indication of a change in position of the first camera relative to capture times associated with the first and second image frames acquired by the first camera; determine a second ego-motion signal, including an indication of a change in position of the second camera relative to capture times associated with the first and second image frames acquired by the second camera; and determine a relative orientation between the first camera and the second camera based on the first ego-motion signal and the second ego-motion signal.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for preventing overwriting of shared line segments. The techniques include sending a data unit from a first processor to second processor using an augmented hardware cache coherency protocol, the augmented hardware cache coherency protocol being augmented to maintain dirty bits information during an exchange of the data unit within a cache coherency domain. A size of the data unit is a fraction of a size of any shared line of a shared memory, and writing the data unit to a segment of a shared line of a shared memory includes using another protocol, without overwriting another segment of the shared line. The writing is based at least in part on the dirty bits information, and the other protocol does not support hardware coherency and maintains the dirty bits information.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for augmenting upright object detection. In one implementation, a system for augmenting detection of objects in an environment of a vehicle may include at least one processing device. The at least one processing device may be programmed to: receive, from an image capture device, a first image frame, the first image frame including an attention area associated with a suspected upright object indication; warp, using a level road plane model, an area in a second earlier image frame that corresponds to the attention area; track a plurality of image patches across the warped area and the attention area; compute a road plane model fit to the tracked image patches; and determine whether to suppress the upright object indication based on the tracked image patches being more consistent with a road plane model than with an upright object model.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the generation of automatic software tests for complex software systems, such as operating systems (OS) and/or systems that may be implemented as part of an autonomous vehicle (AV) or advanced driving assistance system (ADAS). The technique generates tests using a tool, such as a stressor, which stresses a particular system under test in multiple ways. For every run of the stressor, the functions of the system that are invoked during the test are captured. A check is then performed to determine if this set of functions corresponds to one of the test scenarios for which testing is desired. If the set of functions that were invoked matches the set of functions that defines the test, then the configuration of the stressor is stored, and this stressor configuration is considered as the test for a particular scenario.

    Abstract: A navigation system for a host vehicle may include a processor programmed to: receive, from an entity remotely located relative to the host vehicle, a sparse map associated with at least one road segment to be traversed by the host vehicle; receive point cloud information from a LIDAR system onboard the host vehicle, the point cloud information being representative of distances to various objects in an environment of the host vehicle; compare the received point cloud information with at least one of the plurality of mapped navigational landmarks in the sparse map to provide a LIDAR-based localization of the host vehicle relative to at least one target trajectory; determine an navigational action for the host vehicle based on the LIDAR-based localization of the host vehicle relative to the at least one target trajectory; and cause the at least one navigational action to be taken by the host vehicle.

    Abstract: System and techniques for vehicle environment modeling with a camera are described herein. A device for modeling an environment comprises: a hardware sensor interface to obtain a sequence of unrectified images representative of a road environment, the sequence of unrectified images including a first unrectified image, a previous unrectified image, and a previous-previous unrectified image; and processing circuitry to: provide the first unrectified image, the previous unrectified image, and the previous-previous unrectified image to an artificial neural network (ANN) to produce a three-dimensional structure of a scene; determine a selected homography; and apply the selected homography to the three-dimensional structure of the scene to create a model of the road environment.

    Abstract: A system for determining safety of a road segment may include at least one processor programmed to receive, from a first vehicle, first navigation information associated with the road segment. The first navigation information may include information collected by a first sensor of the first vehicle from an environment of the first vehicle. The at least one processor may also be programmed to receive, from a second vehicle, second navigation information associated with the road segment. The second navigation information may include information collected by a second sensor of the second vehicle from an environment of the second vehicle. The at least one processor may further be programmed to determine, based on the first navigation information and the second navigation information, a score representative of the safety of the road segment, and transmit, to a third vehicle, the score representative of the safety of the road segment.
