    Abstract: Techniques are described to estimate orientation of one or more cameras located on a vehicle. The orientation estimation technique can include obtaining an image from a camera located on a vehicle while the vehicle is being driven on a road, determining, from a terrain map, a location of a landmark located at a distance from a location of the vehicle on the road, determining, in the image, pixel locations of the landmark, selecting one pixel location from the determined pixel locations; and calculating values that describe an orientation of the camera using at least an intrinsic matrix and a previously known extrinsic matrix of the camera, where the intrinsic matrix is characterized based on at least the one pixel location and the location of the landmark.

    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for fusing scenes from real-time image feeds from on-vehicle cameras in autonomous vehicles to reduce redundancy of the information processed to enable real-time autonomous operation are described. One example of a method for improving perception in an autonomous vehicle includes receiving a plurality of cropped images, wherein each of the plurality of cropped images comprises one or more bounding boxes that correspond to one or more objects in a corresponding cropped image; identifying, based on the metadata in the plurality of cropped images, a first bounding box in a first cropped image and a second bounding box in a second cropped image, wherein the first and second bounding boxes correspond to a common object; and fusing the metadata corresponding to the common object from the first cropped image and the second cropped image to generate an output result for the common object.

    Abstract: Autonomous vehicles must accommodate various road configurations such as straight roads, curved roads, controlled intersections, uncontrolled intersections, and many others. Autonomous driving systems must make decisions about the speed and distance of traffic and about obstacles including obstacles that obstruct the view of the autonomous vehicle's sensors. For example, at intersections, the autonomous driving system must identify vehicles in the path of the autonomous vehicle or potentially in the path based on a planned path, estimate the distance to those vehicles, and estimate the speeds of those vehicles. Then, based on those and the road configuration and environmental conditions, the autonomous driving system must decide whether it is safe to proceed along the planned path or not, and when it is safe to proceed.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and devices related to autonomous driving. In one aspect, a method is disclosed. The method includes determining three-dimensional bounding indicators for one or more first objects in road target information captured by a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor; determining camera bounding indicators for one or more second objects in road image information captured by a camera sensor; processing the road image information to generate a camera matrix; determining projected bounding indicators from the camera matrix and the three-dimensional bounding indicators; determining, from the projected bounding indicators and the camera bounding indicators, associations between the one or more first objects and the one or more second objects to generate combined target information; and applying, by the autonomous driving system, the combined target information to produce a vehicle control signal.
