    Abstract: Technologies for determining a distance of an object from a vehicle include a computing device to identify an object captured in a fisheye image generated by a fisheye camera of the vehicle. The computing device projects a contour of the identified object on a selected virtual plane that is located outside the vehicle and selected from a predefined set of virtual planes based on a location of the identified object relative to the vehicle. The computing device identifies a bottom of the projected contour on the selected virtual plane and determines an intersection point of an imaginary line with a ground plane coincident with a plane on which the vehicle is positioned. The imaginary line passes through each of the identified bottom of the projected contour and the fisheye camera. The computing device determines a location of the identified object relative to the vehicle based on the determined intersection point and the identified bottom of the projected contour.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for improving classification performance in supervised learning. In accordance with some embodiments, a multiclass support vector machine (SVM) having three or more classes may be converted to a plurality of binary problems that then may be reduced via one or more reduced-set methods. The resultant reduced-set (RS) vectors may be combined together in one or more joint lists, along with the original support vectors (SVs) of the different binary classes. Each binary problem may be re-trained using the joint list(s) by applying a reduction factor (RF) parameter to reduce the total quantity of RS vectors. In re-training, different kernel methods can be combined, in accordance with some embodiments. Reduction may be performed until desired classification performance is achieved. The disclosed techniques can be used, for example, to improve classification speed, accuracy, class prioritization, or a combination thereof, in the SVM training phase, in accordance with some embodiments.
