Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for capturing an image. In one aspect an electronic camera apparatus includes an image sensor with a plurality of pixel regions. The apparatus further includes an exposure controller. The exposure controller determines, for each of the plurality of pixel regions, a corresponding exposure duration and a corresponding exposure start time. Each pixel region begins to integrate incident light starting at the corresponding exposure start time and continues to integrate light for the corresponding exposure duration. In some example embodiments, at least two of the corresponding exposure durations or at least two of the corresponding exposure start times are different in the image.

Abstract: A system comprises a headlight mounted on an autonomous vehicle. The headlight is configured to illuminate at least a portion of a road the autonomous vehicle is on. The system further comprises a control device associated with the autonomous vehicle. The processor obtains information about an environment around the autonomous vehicle. The processor determines that at least a portion of the road should be illuminated if the information indicates that an illumination level of the portion of the road is less than a threshold illumination level. The processor adjusts the headlight to illuminate at least the portion of the road in response to determining that at least the portion of the road should be illuminated.

Abstract: Techniques are described to enable a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, to steer and/or apply brakes on a road when a failure condition occurs. An example method for autonomous driving operation includes receiving a reduced set of location information that describes a location of the autonomous vehicle on a road; receiving a reduced set of trajectory information where the autonomous vehicle is expected to be driven; determining a driving path information where the autonomous vehicle is expected to be driven; and in response to determining an occurrence of a fault condition: sending a first instruction to cause the autonomous vehicle to steer the autonomous vehicle using at least the driving path information and the reduced set of location information, and sending a second instruction to cause the autonomous vehicle to apply brakes.

Abstract: Techniques are described for transitioning control of a steering system from an autonomous mode in a vehicle to a driver-controlled mode where the driver can control the steering wheel of the steering system. A method includes receiving values that describe an amount of torque and a direction of torque in response to a torque applied to a steering wheel of a steering system operated in an autonomous mode, determining that the values are either greater than or equal to a threshold value or are less than or equal to a negative of the threshold value, determining that the values are measured over a period of time greater than or equal to a pre-determined amount of time, and transitioning the steering system from being operated in the autonomous mode to being operated in a driver-controlled mode in which the steering system is under manual control.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for a vehicular safety system in autonomous vehicles are described. An example method for safely controlling a vehicle includes selecting, based on a first control command from a first vehicle control unit, an operating mode of the vehicle, and transmitting, based on the selecting, the operating mode to an autonomous driving system, wherein the first control command is generated based on input from a first plurality of sensors, and wherein the operating mode corresponds to one of (a) a default operating mode, (b) a minimal risk condition mode of a first type that configures the vehicle to pull over to a nearest pre-designated safety location, (c) a minimal risk condition mode of a second type that configures the vehicle to immediately stop in a current lane, or (d) a minimal risk condition mode of a third type that configures the vehicle to come to a gentle stop.

Abstract: Technique for performing camera calibration on a vehicle is disclosed. A method of performing camera calibration includes emitting, by a laser emitter located on a vehicle and pointed towards a road, a first laser pulse group towards a first location on a road and a second laser pulse group towards a second location on the road, where each laser pulse group includes one or more laser spots. For each laser pulse group: a first set of distances are calculated from a location of a laser receiver to the one or more laser spots, and a second set of distances are determined from an image obtained from a camera, where the second set of distances are from a location of the camera to the one or more laser spots. The method also includes determining two camera calibration parameters of the camera by solving two equations.

Abstract: A system and method for actively selecting and labeling images for semantic segmentation are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: receiving image data from an image generating device; performing semantic segmentation or other object detection on the received image data to identify and label objects in the image data and produce semantic label image data; determining the quality of the semantic label image data based on prediction probabilities associated with regions or portions of the image; and identifying a region or portion of the image for manual labeling if an associated prediction probability is below a pre-determined threshold.
