    摘要: A computer, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to obtain velocity lidar point cloud data acquired with a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) lidar sensor, wherein the velocity lidar point cloud data includes a speed with which a data point is moving with respect to the FMCW lidar sensor, filter the velocity lidar point cloud data to select static velocity data points, wherein the static velocity data points are velocity data points each correspond to a point on a roadway around a vehicle. The instructions can include further instructions to determine FMCW lidar sensor accelerations in six degrees of freedom based on the static velocity lidar data points and determine FMCW lidar sensor rotations and translations in six degrees of freedom based on the FMCW lidar sensor accelerations in six degrees of freedom. The instructions can include further instructions to determine vehicle rotations and translations in six degrees of freedom based on inertial measurement unit (IMU) data, determine FMCW lidar sensor mis-alignment based on comparing the FMCW lidar sensor rotations and translations with the vehicle rotations and translations and align the FMCW lidar sensor based on the FMCW lidar sensor mis-alignment. The instructions can include further instructions to operate a vehicle based on the aligned FMCW lidar sensor.

    摘要: A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to input strain data measuring mechanical strain on a vehicle camera and operation data of a vehicle component, the operation data describing at least one of an output or a state of the vehicle component, to a machine learning program that outputs a displacement of the vehicle camera from a neutral position based on the strain data and the operation data. The instructions further include instructions to identify a transformation matrix that transforms data from the vehicle camera to a coordinate system of the vehicle camera in the neutral position based on the output displacement of the vehicle camera, to apply the transformation matrix to data collected by the vehicle camera to generate transformed data, and to actuate one of the vehicle component or a second vehicle component based on the transformed data.

    摘要: A system for detecting a road surface includes a processor programmed to identify, in a vehicle sensor field of view, environment features including a sky, a road surface, a road shoulder, based on map data and data received from the one or more vehicle sensors, upon determining a low confidence in identifying an area of the field of view to be a road surface or sky, to receive a polarimetric image, and to determine, based on the received polarimetric image, whether the identified area is a mirage phenomenon, a wet road surface, or the sky. The low confidence is determined upon determining that a road surface has a vanishing edge, a road lane marker is missing, or an anomalous object is present.

    摘要: A system comprises a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to determine a baseline polarization for a surface of a material based on a first polarimetric image of the surface, to determine a second polarization for the surface based on a second polarimetric image of the surface, to determine, based on the baseline polarization data and the second polarization data, that there is a wet area on the surface, and upon determining the wet area, actuate an actuator to cause a clean the surface.
