Abstract: A latency masking system for use in an autonomous vehicle (AV) system. The latency masking system comprises a sensors module providing sensor data from a plurality of sensors. The sensor data includes image frames provided by a vehicle camera and vehicle motion data. A wireless transceiver transmits the sensor data to a remote server associated with a network infrastructure and receives remote state information derived from the sensor data. An on-board function module receives the sensor data from the sensors module and generates local state information. A state fusion and prediction module receives the remote station information and the local state information and updates the local state information with the remote state information. The state fusion and prediction module uses checkpoints in a state history data structure to update the local state information with the remote state information.

Abstract: A system includes a queue, a memory and a controller. The queue is configured to transfer a message between a first thread and a second thread, where the first thread and the second thread are implemented as part of a single process, and where an amount of data corresponding to the message is less than a set amount of data. The memory is configured for sharing data between the first thread and the second thread, wherein an amount of the data shared between the first thread and the second thread is greater than the set amount of data. The controller is configured to execute the single process including concurrently executing (i) a first middleware node process as the first thread, and (ii) a second middleware node process as the second thread.

Abstract: Systems and methods to identify an attention region in sensor-based detection involve obtaining a detection result that indicates one or more detection areas where one or more objects of interest are detected. The detection result is based on using a first detection algorithm. The method includes obtaining a reference detection result that indicates one or more reference detection areas where one or more objects of interest are detected. The reference detection result is based on using a second detection algorithm. The method also includes identifying the attention region as one of the one or more reference detection areas without a corresponding one or more detection areas. The first detection algorithm is used to perform detection in the attention region.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for generating and training a high precision low bit convolutional neural network (CNN). A filter of each convolutional layer of the CNN is approximated using one or more binary filters and a real-valued activation function is approximated using a linear combination of binary activations. More specifically, a non-1×1 filter (e.g., a k×k filter, where k>1) is approximated using a scaled binary filter and a 1×1 filter is approximated using a linear combination of binary filters. Thus, a different strategy is employed for approximating different weights (e.g., 1×1 filter vs. a non-1×1 filter). In this manner, convolutions performed in convolutional layer(s) of the high precision low bit CNN become binary convolutions that yield a lower computational cost while still maintaining a high performance (e.g., a high accuracy).
