Abstract: Image processing techniques are described to obtain an image from a camera located on a vehicle while the vehicle is being driven, cropping a portion of the obtained image corresponding to a region of interest, detecting an object in the cropped portion, adding a bounding box around the detected object, determining position(s) of reference point(s) on the bounding box, and determining a location of the detected object in a spatial region where the vehicle is being driven based on the determined one or more positions of the second set of one or more reference points on the bounding box.

Abstract: Disclosed are distributed computing systems and methods for controlling multiple autonomous control modules and subsystems in an autonomous vehicle. In some aspects of the disclosed technology, a computing architecture for an autonomous vehicle includes distributing the complexity of autonomous vehicle operation, thereby avoiding the use of a single high-performance computing system and enabling off-the-shelf components to be use more readily and reducing system failure rates.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for using a rotating camera for vehicular operation. One example of a method for improving driving includes determining, by a processor in the vehicle, that a trigger has activated, orienting, based on the determining, a single rotating camera towards a direction of interest, and activating a recording functionality of the single rotating camera, where the vehicle comprises the single rotating camera and one or more fixed cameras, and where the single rotating camera provides a redundant functionality for, and consumes less power than, the one or more fixed cameras.

Abstract: A system and method for large-scale lane marking detection using multimodal sensor data are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: receiving image data from an image generating device mounted on a vehicle; receiving point cloud data from a distance and intensity measuring device mounted on the vehicle; fusing the image data and the point cloud data to produce a set of lane marking points in three-dimensional (3D) space that correlate to the image data and the point cloud data; and generating a lane marking map from the set of lane marking points.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for incorporating a smoothness constraint for camera pose estimation. One method for robust camera pose estimation includes determining a first bounding box based on a previous frame, determining a second bounding box based on a current frame that is temporally subsequent to the previous frame, estimating the camera pose by minimizing a weighted sum of a camera pose function and a constraint function, where the camera pose function tracks a position and an orientation of the camera in time, and where the constraint function is based on coordinates of the first bounding box and coordinates of the second bounding box, and using the camera pose for navigating the vehicle. The method may further include generating an initial estimate of the camera pose is based on a Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor or an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).

Abstract: Techniques are described to estimate orientation of one or more cameras located on a vehicle. The orientation estimation technique can include obtaining an image from a camera located on a vehicle while the vehicle is being driven on a road, determining, from a terrain map, a location of a landmark located at a distance from a location of the vehicle on the road, determining, in the image, pixel locations of the landmark, selecting one pixel location from the determined pixel locations; and calculating values that describe an orientation of the camera using at least an intrinsic matrix and a previously known extrinsic matrix of the camera, where the intrinsic matrix is characterized based on at least the one pixel location and the location of the landmark.
