Vehicles and methods for tracking an object and controlling a vehicle based on the tracked object. A Radar-Doppler (RD) map is received from the radar sensing system of the vehicle and relative acceleration of an object with respect to the vehicle is detected based on the RD map so as to provide acceleration data. A current frame of detected object data is received from a sensing system of the vehicle. When the relative acceleration has been detected, a tracking algorithm is adapted to reduce the influence of the predictive motion model or the historical state of the object and the object is tracked using the adapted tracking algorithm so as to provide adapted estimated object data based on the object tracking. One or more vehicle actuators are controlled based on the adapted estimated object data.

To implement a configuration to calculate a manual driving recoverable time required for a driver who is executing automatic driving in order to achieve a requested recovery ratio (RRR) for each road section, and issue a manual driving recovery request notification on the basis of the calculated time. A data processing unit is included, which calculates a manual driving recoverable time required for a driver who is executing automatic driving in order to achieve a predefined requested recovery ratio (RRR) from automatic driving to manual driving and determines notification timing of a manual driving recovery request notification on the basis of the calculated time. The data processing unit acquires the requested recovery ratio (RRR) for each road section set as ancillary information of a local dynamic map (LDM), and calculates the manual driving recoverable time for each road section scheduled to travel, using learning data for each driver.

Aspects of the disclosed technology provide solutions for performing odometry and in particular, for performing odometry by filtering moving objects from a scene using sensor data. In some aspects, a process can include steps for receiving a first set of sensor data corresponding with a plurality of objects in a scene, determining one or more moving objects and one or more stationary objects from among the plurality of objects, and receiving a second set of sensor data. In some aspects, the process can further include steps for filtering the second set of sensor data to remove data associated with the one or more moving objects and generating odometry data associated with the filtered second set of sensor data. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Systems and methods are provided for utilizing sensor data from sensors of different modalities and from different vehicles to generate a combined image of an environment. Sensor data, such as a point cloud, generated by a LiDAR sensor on a first vehicle may be combined with sensor data, such as image data, generated by a camera on a second vehicle. The point cloud and image data may be combined to provide benefits over either data individually and processed to provide an improved image of the environment of the first and second vehicles. Either vehicle can perform this processing when receiving the sensor data from the other vehicle. An external system can also do the processing when receiving the sensor data from both vehicles. The improved image can then be used by one or both of the vehicles to improve, for example, automated travel through or obstacle identification in the environment.

Systems, methods, and devices for radio frequency (RF) ranging-aided localization and crowdsourced mapping are provided. In one aspect, a method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes obtaining sensor data comprising first radio frequency (RF) ranging data and imaging data. The method further includes tagging the first RF ranging data with location information and semantic information, wherein the semantic information is based on the imaging data, and wherein the semantic information indicates a first portion of the RF ranging data is associated with a static object type and a second portion of the RF ranging data is associated with a temporary-static object type different from the static object type. The method further includes transmitting, to a RF ranging assistance server, the first RF ranging data tagged with the location information and the semantic information.

A method, apparatus, and system for managing sensor system for an aircraft. A presence of erroneous sensor data generated by a set of external sensors on an exterior of the aircraft is detected. A set of deployable sensors is deployed in response to the erroneous sensor data being received from the set of external sensors on the exterior of the aircraft when an undesired environmental condition adverse to the set of external sensors on the exterior of the aircraft is absent. Sensor data is received from the set of deployable sensors.

Various embodiments wirelessly detect micro gestures using multiple antenna of a gesture sensor device. At times, the gesture sensor device transmits multiple outgoing radio frequency (RF) signals, each outgoing RF signal transmitted via a respective antenna of the gesture sensor device. The outgoing RF signals are configured to help capture information that can be used to identify micro-gestures performed by a hand. The gesture sensor device captures incoming RF signals generated by the outgoing RF signals reflecting off of the hand, and then analyzes the incoming RF signals to identify the micro-gesture.
