Systems and methods navigate a vehicle on a road at least partially covered with snow. In one implementation, a system may include at least one processor programmed to receive from an image capture device, a plurality of images captured of an environment forward of the vehicle, including an area where snow covers a road on which the vehicle travels, analyze at least one of the plurality of images to identify a first free space boundary on a first side of the vehicle and extending forward of the vehicle, a second free space boundary on a passenger side of the vehicle and extending forward of the vehicle, and a forward free space boundary forward of the vehicle and extending between the first free space boundary and the second free space boundary.

Embodiments of the present invention allow users to navigate to a destination by way of haptic feedback. An embodiment employs: (1) a processor executed software application, and (2) one or more vibrating nodes worn by a user. In such an embodiment, upon providing a destination via an application, the application sends commands to the nodes to vibrate along a specific signature to indicate, through the sense of touch, navigation commands to the user.

The present disclosure may provide a system for positioning a target scene and/or navigating a detection equipment to the target scene. The system may obtain at least one image captured by at least one camera. The at least one image may include the target scene. The system may also determine a position of the target scene based on the at least one image. Further, the system may plan a travelling route for a detection equipment to the target scene based on the position of the target scene.

An optical navigation system comprising a control circuit and an optical navigation device. The optical navigation device comprises: an image sensor, configured to generate a plurality of image frames; and a motion reporting device, configured to report a first motion of the optical navigation device to the control circuit at a first time after a reference time, and configured to report a second motion to the control circuit at a second time after the first time. The first motion and the second motion are calculated according to the image frames. The control circuit calculates a first scaled motion according to the first motion, the second motion, a first time difference between the first time and the reference time, and a second time difference between the first time and the second time.

A distance detection method, a distance detection system and a computer program product are provided. The method includes: comparing a street view image with a real-time image according to a first distance; determining a distance between a vehicle and a target position in response to the comparison result of the street view image and the real-time image; and outputting the distance between the vehicle and the target position to prompt a user of the vehicle.

A computer implemented method, system and computer program product are provided that obtain a directional dialogue comprising a series of instructions that at least partially defines a pathway through an environment, determine navigation actions associated with the pathway based on the series of instructions, track movement of an electronic device (ED) based on one or more of GPS data and non-GPS data; and present the navigation actions based on the movement.

A driving assistance device for a vehicle includes a front camera and an image processing ECU configured to detect a display object present forward of a vehicle and recognize display content of the detected display object, and a driving assistance ECU configured to execute driving assistance control for assisting a driver in a case where the display object is detected by the front camera and the image processing ECU. The driving assistance ECU sets an assistance level of the driving assistance control high when the detected display object is detected multiple times in the past, and a rate of coincidence of recognition results indicating the number of times determined to be the same display content to the number of detection times is equal to or greater than a first threshold value, compared to when the rate of coincidence of the recognition results is less than the first threshold value.

[Object] An object of the present technology is to provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing system, and an information processing method capable of allowing a user to approach a destination intuitively. [Solving Means] An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a position-coordinate acquisition part, a direction acquisition part, a direction calculation part, and a haptic-feedback determining part. The position-coordinate acquisition part acquires a position coordinate of the information processing apparatus. The direction acquisition part acquires an apparatus direction that the information processing apparatus faces. The direction calculation part calculates a target direction being a direction of a target with respect to the information processing apparatus from a position coordinate of the target and the position coordinate of the information processing apparatus. The haptic-feedback determining part determines a haptic feedback to be presented to a user on the basis of an angle formed by the apparatus direction and the target direction.

A system and method for automated loading of delivery vehicles using automated guided vehicles is described. In an example implementation, a loading coordination engine may determine a delivery destination of a first item based on item data associated with the first item, assign the first item to a location in a delivery vehicle, and generate a task list including an instruction to an automated guided vehicle to position the first item in the delivery vehicle based on the assigned location in the delivery vehicle. In some instances, the automated guided vehicle may navigate to a loading area to retrieve the first item from the loading area, navigate to a point proximate to the assigned location in the delivery vehicle, and place the first item at the assigned location based on the task list.
