Abstract: A computer-implemented method, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention includes, during movement of a vehicle, monitoring for a predetermined condition corresponding to potential presence of an animal on a roadway. In response to detecting the predetermined condition, a representation of at least a portion of the moving vehicle is projected for virtually increasing a visual size of the vehicle. The projected representation (also referred to as a projection) has a dimension that is greater than the portion of the moving vehicle corresponding to the representation.

Abstract: A driving support apparatus includes a surrounding sensor capable of acquiring surrounding information on a three-dimensional object around a vehicle and a road marking ahead of the vehicle, and a vehicle state sensor capable of acquiring vehicle state information on multiple types of vehicle states in response to driving operation by a driver, including an AP operation amount in response to the driver's AP operation as one of the vehicle states. The apparatus further includes a control unit configured to execute deceleration assist control to assist deceleration when a predetermined start condition is satisfied, and to cancel the deceleration assist control when a cancel condition which is satisfied when the AP operation is performed during execution of the deceleration assist control is satisfied. When the cancel condition is satisfied, the control unit reduces the braking force based on the surrounding information and the vehicle state information.

Abstract: An information notification system notifies a user of a vehicle of information. A first condition is that one or more time-designated speed limit signs recognized by a camera mounted on the vehicle designate all times of day as a whole. The information notification system determines whether or not the first condition is satisfied. When the first condition is not satisfied, the information notification system notifies the user of at least a legal speed limit on a road on which the one or more time-designated speed limit signs are installed, based on reference information on the legal speed limit in a region in which the vehicle is used.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a current state of at least one traffic light (“TL”) for use in controlling an autonomous vehicle are described herein. Implementations can generate a corresponding numerical measure, for each of multiple candidate states of the TL, based on processing an image capturing a region that is predicted to include the TL using machine learning classifier(s). Implementations further generate a corresponding final measure, for each of the candidate states, based on processing each of the corresponding numerical measures using TL model(s), select one of the candidate states as a current state of the TL based on the final measures, and control the autonomous vehicle based on the current state of the TL. Notably, each of the corresponding final measures can be generated as a function of the corresponding numerical measures of the candidate states, and the corresponding numerical measures of the other candidate states.

Abstract: The disclosed technology enables automated parking of an autonomous vehicle. An example method of performing automated parking for a vehicle comprises obtaining, from a plurality of global positioning system (GPS) devices located on or in an autonomous vehicle, a first set of location information that describes locations of multiple points on the autonomous vehicle, where the first set of location information are associated with a first position of the autonomous vehicle, determining, based on the first set of location information and a location of the parking area, a trajectory information that describes a trajectory for the autonomous vehicle to be driven from the first position of the autonomous vehicle to a parking area, and causing the autonomous vehicle to be driven along the trajectory to the parking area by causing operation of one or more devices located in the autonomous vehicle based on at least the trajectory information.

Abstract: A road sign interpretation system includes a front-facing camera mounted on or in a vehicle collecting image data of multiple road signs. A first convolutional neural network (CNN) receives the image data from the front-facing camera and yields a set of sign predictions including one or more sign text instances. A second CNN defining a text extractor receives the image data from the front-facing camera and extracts text candidates including the multiple sign text instances. Sign and sign data localization is provided in the second CNN to compute a text order from the multiple sign text instances. A sign text synthesizer module receives individual sign text instances from the first CNN and individual ones of the sign text instances in digitized forms from an optical character recognizer (OCR). A semantic encoding and interpretation module receives the sign text instances and identifies semantics of the multiple road signs.
