Target-Velocity Estimation Using Position Variance
20230121956 · 2023-04-20 ·

The techniques and systems herein enable target-velocity estimation using position variance. Specifically, a plurality of detections of a target are received for respective times as the target moves relative to a host vehicle. Based on the detections, two-dimensional positions of the target relative to the host vehicle are determined for the respective times. Based on the positions of the target at the respective times, a first variance is determined for a first dimension of the positions, and a second variance is determined for a second dimension of the positions. Based on the first and second variances, an estimated velocity of the target is calculated. By basing the estimated velocity on the variances of the positions, more-accurate estimated velocities may be generated sooner, thus enabling better performance of downstream operations.

20220319328 · 2022-10-06 ·

This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for sensor fusion for object-avoidance detection, including stationary-object height estimation. A sensor fusion system may include a two-stage pipeline. In the first stage, time-series radar data passes through a detection model to produce radar range detections. In the second stage, based on the radar range detections and camera detections, an estimation model detects an over-drivable condition associated with stationary objects in a travel path of a vehicle. By projecting radar range detections onto pixels of an image, a histogram tracker can be used to discern pixel-based dimensions of stationary objects and track them across frames. With depth information, a highly accurate pixel-based width and height estimation can be made, which after applying over-drivability thresholds to these estimations, a vehicle can quickly and safely make over-drivability decisions about objects in a road.
