Abstract:
Systems and methods use cameras to provide autonomous navigation features. In one implementation, a traffic light detection system is provided for a vehicle. One or more processing devices associated with the system receive at least one image of an area forward of the vehicle via a data interface, with the area including at least one traffic lamp fixture having at least one traffic light. The processing device(s) determine, based on at least one indicator of vehicle position, whether the vehicle is in a turn lane. Also, the processing device(s) process the received image(s) to determine the status of the traffic light, including whether the traffic light includes an arrow. Further, the system may cause a system response based on the determination of the status of the traffic light, whether the traffic light includes an arrow, and whether the vehicle is in a turn lane.
Abstract:
A traffic light detection system for a vehicle is provided. The system may include at least one processing device programmed to receive, from at least one image capture device, a plurality of images representative of an area forward of the vehicle, the area including a traffic light fixture having at least one traffic light. The at least one processing device may also be programmed to analyze at least one of the plurality of images to determine a status of the at least one traffic light, and determine an estimated amount of time until the vehicle will reach an intersection associated with the traffic light fixture. The at least one processing device may further be programmed to cause a system response based on the status of at least one traffic light and the estimated amount of time until the vehicle will reach the intersection.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for navigating a host vehicle are disclosed. In one implementation at least one processor is programmed to receive at least one image captured by a camera from an environment of the host vehicle; analyze the at least one image to identity a representation of a lane of travel of the host vehicle along a road segment and a representation of at least one additional lane of travel along the road segment; analyze the at least one image to identify an attribute associated with the at least one additional lane of travel; determine, based on the attribute, information indicative of a characterization of the at least one additional lane of travel; and send the information indicative of the characterization of the at least one additional lane of travel to a server for use in updating a road navigation model.
