    Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system includes one or more processors, and a memory including instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method. The method includes receiving first image data from a first image sensor mounted on a vehicle and second image data from a second image sensor mounted on the vehicle, the vehicle including an element configured to open into a space external to the vehicle; generating a depth map from a comparison of the first image data and the second image data, the depth map including an object; in accordance with a determination that the object, in the depth map, is within the space into which the element is configured to open, determining that the object will interfere with opening of the element into the space; and in accordance with a determination that the object, in the depth map, is not within the space into which the element is configured to open, determining that the object will not interfere with opening of the element into the space.

    Abstract: A vehicle control system for moving a vehicle to a target location is disclosed. According to examples of the disclosure, a camera captures one or more images of a known object corresponding to the target location. An on-board computer having stored thereon information about the known object can process the one or more images to determine vehicle location with respect to the known object. The system can use the vehicle's determined location and a feedback controller to move the vehicle to the target location.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for increasing the precision of a map include receiving a plurality of messages over a network from a corresponding plurality of vehicles. The vehicles may be equipped with positioning devices such as a global positioning receiver. The positioning devices in the vehicles may be of a lower cost and therefore provide location precisions within approximately ten (10) meters. The locations of the plurality of vehicles may be used as control points in one or more interpolation algorithms to adjust the position of road information included in a map. Thus, higher precision maps may be generated through the use of relatively lower cost positioning devices in the vehicles.

    Abstract: Camera-based autonomous parking is disclosed. An autonomous parking procedure can include detecting parking lines in images captured by a camera on a vehicle. The vehicle can be localized with respect to the parking lines based on location data for the vehicle from a GPS receiver and a location determination for the vehicle based on detected ends of the parking lines. The vehicle can further determine an occupancy state of one or more parking spaces formed by the two or more parking lines using a range sensor on the vehicle and select an empty space. A region of interest including the selected space can be identified and one or more parking lines of the selected space can be detected in an image of the region of interest. The vehicle can autonomously move to reduce errors between the location of the vehicle and the final parking position within the selected space.

    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to optical data processing or objects in proximity to an optical sensor or camera, such as a camera mounted on a vehicles. Image data is received from a camera mounted on a vehicle, the image data indicative of a motion of the camera with respect to a detected object within a proximity of the camera or the vehicle on which the camera may be mounted. An optical flow of the object in the image data is determined, and a height of the object is determined based on the determined optical flow.
