METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE DISTORTION-FREE DISPLAY OF AN AREA SURROUNDING A VEHICLE
A camera surround view system for a vehicle includes at least one vehicle camera that supplies camera images processed by a data processing unit to generate an image of the surroundings. The image of the surroundings being displayed on a display unit. The data processing unit re-projects textures, which are detected by the vehicle cameras, on an adaptive re-projection surface, which is similar to the area surrounding the vehicle, the re-projection surface being calculated based on sensor data provided by vehicle sensors. The data processing unit adapts the re-projection surface depending on a position and an orientation of a virtual camera.
INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an attribute determiner and a setter. Each of acquired first sets indicates a combination of observation information indicating a result of observation of an area surrounding a moving body and position information. The attribute determiner is configured to determine, based on the observation information, an attribute of each of areas into which the area surrounding the moving body is divided, and to generate second sets, each indicating a combination of attribute information indicating the attribute of each area and the position information. The setter is configured to set, based on the second sets, reliability of the attribute of the area of a target second set, from correlation between the attribute of the area of the target second set and the attribute of corresponding areas each indicating the area corresponding to the target area in the areas of the other second sets.
VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS
When a first object is first detected during a second display process executed when a second object is detected, a vehicle display control apparatus of the invention starts a first display at a first detection of the first object, stop the first display at a termination of the second display process and start the first display process at a start of the next second display process.

The processing circuit calculates a first presence probability of an object present around a moving body with positional information measured by each of a plurality of sensors having different characteristics, acquires non-measurement information indicating that the positional information on the object has not been obtained for each of the sensors, and determines a second presence probability of the object based on the first presence probability and the non-measurement information.
Actively modifying a field of view of an autonomous vehicle in view of constraints
Methods and devices for actively modifying a field of view of an autonomous vehicle in view of constraints are disclosed. In one embodiment, an example method is disclosed that includes causing a sensor in an autonomous vehicle to sense information about an environment in a first field of view, where a portion of the environment is obscured in the first field of view. The example method further includes determining a desired field of view in which the portion of the environment is not obscured and, based on the desired field of view and a set of constraints for the vehicle, determining a second field of view in which the portion of the environment is less obscured than in the first field of view. The example method further includes modifying a position of the vehicle, thereby causing the sensor to sense information in the second field of view.

DATA SYNTHESIS FOR AUTONOMOUS CONTROL SYSTEMS
An autonomous control system generates synthetic data that reflect simulated environments. Specifically, the synthetic data is a representation of sensor data of the simulated environment from the perspective of one or more sensors. The system generates synthetic data by introducing one or more simulated modifications to sensor data captured by the sensors or by simulating the sensor data for a virtual environment. The autonomous control system uses the synthetic data to train computer models for various detection and control algorithms. In general, this allows autonomous control systems to augment training data to improve performance of computer models, simulate scenarios that are not included in existing training data, and/or train computer models that remove unwanted effects or occlusions from sensor data of the environment.
