    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling an autonomous vehicle. A sensor fusion system with a sensor system for providing environment condition information and a convolutional neural network (CNN) is provided. The CNN includes a receiving interface configured to receive the environment condition information from the sensor system, a common convolutional layer configured to extract traffic information from the received environment condition information, and a plurality of fully connected layers configured to detect objects belonging to different object classes based on the extracted traffic information, wherein the object classes include at least one of a road feature class, a static object class, and a dynamic object class.

    Abstract: A system and method for generating a range image using sparse depth data is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a controller, image data of a scene. The image data includes a first set of pixels. The method also includes receiving, by the controller, a sparse depth data of the scene. The sparse depth data includes a second set of pixels, and the number of the second set of pixels is less than the number of first set of pixels. The method also includes combining the image data and the sparse depth data into a combined data. The method also includes generating a range image using the combined data.

    Abstract: A method for autonomously aligning a tow hitch ball on a towing vehicle and a trailer drawbar on a trailer through a human-machine interface (HMI) assisted visual servoing process. The method includes providing rearview images from a rearview camera. The method includes touching the tow ball on a display to register a location of the tow ball in the image and touching the drawbar on the display to register a location of a target where the tow ball will be properly aligned with the drawbar. The method provides a template pattern around the target on the image and autonomously moves the vehicle so that the tow ball moves towards the target. The method predicts a new location of the target as the vehicle moves and identifies the target in new images as the vehicle moves by comparing the previous template pattern with an image patch around the predicted location.

    Abstract translation: 一种用于通过人机界面(HMI)辅助的视觉伺服过程来自动地将牵引车上的牵引牵引球和拖车上的拖车牵引杆对准的方法。 该方法包括从后视摄像机提供后视图像。 该方法包括在显示器上触摸拖球,以将拖曳球的位置注册在图像中并且在显示器上接触牵引杆以登记目标的位置,其中拖曳球将与牵引杆正确对准。 该方法提供围绕图像上的目标的模板图案,并且自动地移动车辆,使得拖曳球朝向目标移动。 当车辆移动时,该方法预测目标的新位置,并通过将先前的模板模式与预测位置周围的图像补丁进行比较来识别车辆移动时的新图像中的目标。
