    摘要: A DLL includes a delay line with two phase outputs, a gater coupled with the delay line phase outputs, a PFD coupled with gater outputs, a PD coupled with PFD outputs, a retimer coupled with PD outputs, and a loop filter with inputs coupled with the retimer and a speed control output coupled with the delay line. The gater passes signals on its two inputs to its two outputs, apart from a first pulse on its first input. The PD determines if the second gated signal leads or lags the first gated signal. The retimer retimes PD output signals to be aligned with a delay line input signal. The loop filter uses the retimed PD output signals to determine if the delay line should delay more or delay less, and outputs a speed control signal to control the delay line speed.

    摘要: A processor-implemented method and system for determining a predictive occupancy grid map (OGM) for an autonomous vehicle are disclosed. The method includes: receiving a set of OGMs including a current predicted OGM and one or more future predicted OGMs, the current OGM associated with a current timestamp and each future predicted OGM associated with a future timestamp; generating a weight map associated with the current timestamp based on one or more kinodynamic parameters of the vehicle at the current time stamp, and one or more weight map associated with a future timestamp; generating a set of filtered predicted OGMs by filtering the current predicted OGM with the weight map associated the current timestamp and filtering each respective future predicted OGM associated with a future timestamp with the weight map associated with the respective future timestamp; and sending a single predicted OGM to a trajectory generator.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting characteristics of an input signal. One aspect includes a first finite impulse response (FIR) filter, a second FIR filter, and a controller coupled with the first and second FIR filters. The first FIR filter receives an input signal and a first reference signal. The first FIR filter filters the first reference signal to generate a first sinusoidal signal and mixes the first sinusoidal signal and the input signal to generate a first mixed signal. The second FIR filter receives the input signal and a second reference signal. The second FIR filter filters the second reference signal to generate a second sinusoidal signal and mixes the second sinusoidal signal and the input signal to generate a second mixed signal. The controller determines characteristics of the input signal based on the first and second mixed signals.

    摘要: A median filter device is provided with a reordered circuit, a comparison circuit and a data refresh circuit on the basis of the conventional data buffer circuit and data register circuit. The reorder circuit re-sorts the signal data stored in the data buffer circuit in a preceding clock cycle according to their numerical values. The comparison circuit compares the new signal datum entered in the current clock cycle with the signal data already stored to generate a median. The data refresh circuit updates the signal codes stored in the data register circuit with the signal codes corresponding to the new signal data, for calculation of the median in a following clock cycle. The length of the data buffer circuit and data register circuit can be reduced from N signal data to N-1 signal data, which achieves less data storage capacity, smaller circuit area, easier data processing and higher operation efficiency.
