According to an embodiment, a mobile object control device includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding situation of a mobile object on the basis of an output of an external sensor and a marking recognizer configured to recognize markings for dividing an area through which the mobile object passes on the basis of the surrounding situation recognized by the recognizer. The marking recognizer extracts a prescribed area from the surrounding situation when it is determined that marking recognition accuracy has been lowered, extracts an edge within the extracted prescribed area, and recognizes the markings on the basis of an extraction result.

Image-based velocity control for a turning vehicle

An autonomous vehicle control system is provided. The control system may include a plurality of cameras to acquire a plurality of images of an area in a vicinity of a vehicle; and at least one processing device configured to: recognize a curve to be navigated based on map data and vehicle position information; determine an initial target velocity for the vehicle based on at least one characteristic of the curve as reflected in the map data; adjust a velocity of the vehicle to the initial target velocity; determine, based on the plurality of images, observed characteristics of the curve; determine an updated target velocity based on the observed characteristics of the curve; and adjust the velocity of the vehicle to the updated target velocity.

Method for ascertaining in a backend, and providing for a vehicle, a data record, describing a landmark, for the vehicle to determine its own position

A vehicle takes and evaluates an image of the surroundings of the vehicle. If the result of the evaluation is that the image possibly contains a static object that could be suitable as a landmark, then the image and a position of the vehicle ascertained by the vehicle at the location at which the image is taken are transmitted to a data processing station. Image analysis of the received image allows the data processing station to establish whether the supposedly static object is suitable as a landmark. When the object has been verified as a landmark, the data processing station creates a data record describing the object, which data record is transmitted to the vehicle.

Method and device for outputting lane information

A vehicle driving assistance device includes: a sensing unit configured to capture a front image of a running vehicle; a processor configured to detect a lane by using the front image and estimate the lane by detecting objects around a road, on which the vehicle is running, by using the sensing unit; and an output unit configured to output the estimated lane.

Systems and methods for enhanced base map generation

A feature mapping computer system configured to (i) receive a first localized image including a first photo and a first location; (ii) receive a second localized image including a second photo and a second location; (iii) identify a roadway feature depicted in both the first and second photos; (iv) generate, using a photogrammetry module, a point cloud based upon the first and second photos and first and second locations; (v) generate a localized point cloud by assigning a location to the point cloud based upon at least one of the first and second locations; and (vi) generate an enhanced base map that includes a roadway feature by embedding an indication of the identified roadway feature onto the localized point cloud.

A lane line recognition method, a device and a storage medium are provided. The position information of lane lines is determined by first detecting a current frame image collected by a vehicle and determining a plurality of detection frames where the lane lines in the current frame image are located, determining a connection area according to the position information of the plurality of detection frames where the connection area includes the lane lines, and then performing edge detection on the connection area and determining the position information of the lane lines in the connection area. That is to say, the position information of the lane lines is obtained by first dividing the current frame image into a plurality of detection frames, then connecting the detection frames to obtain the connection area including the lane lines, and then performing edge detection on the connection area.

MONITORING DEVICE, MONITORING SYSTEM, AND MONITORING METHOD

A monitoring device receives an image captured by an image capturing device mounted on a vehicle. The monitoring device performs a monitoring process for a preset monitoring range based on the captured image received from the image capturing unit. The monitoring device displays a plurality of menus indicating different monitoring ranges on a display device, and sets a monitoring range corresponding to a menu selected by the user from the plurality of menus as the monitoring range in the monitoring process.

Method and device for detecting precision of internal parameter of laser radar

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and a device for detecting a precision of an internal parameter of a laser radar, a related apparatus and a medium. The method may include the following steps. Point cloud data collected by the laser radar arranged on an autonomous mobile carrier travelling on a flat road is obtained. A three-dimensional scene reconstruction is performed based on the point cloud data collected to obtain a point cloud model of a three-dimensional scene. The point cloud model of the three-dimensional scene is divided to obtain the road. A thickness of the road is determined based on the point cloud data of the road. It is determined whether the internal parameter of the laser radar is precise based on the thickness of the road.
