DETERMINING LANE ASSOCIATIONS BASED ON IMAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240096111 titled 'DETERMINING LANE ASSOCIATIONS BASED ON IMAGES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and techniques for determining lane associations of target vehicles.

  • Obtaining a two-dimensional bounding box defining a position within an image frame associated with a target vehicle
  • Obtaining lane markers defining a position within the image frame associated with at least one lane boundary
  • Associating a lane with the target vehicle based on the relationship between the two-dimensional bounding box and the lane markers

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle occlusions in the image frame?

This technology may use advanced algorithms to predict the position of the target vehicle and its lane association even in the presence of occlusions.

What is the computational cost of implementing this technology in real-time systems?

The computational cost of this technology may vary depending on the complexity of the algorithms used, but efforts are made to optimize it for real-time applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and techniques are described herein for determining lane associations of target vehicles. for instance, a method for determining lane associations of target vehicles is provided. the method may include obtaining a two-dimensional bounding box defining a position within an image frame that is associated with a target vehicle; obtaining lane markers defining a position within the image frame that is associated with at least one lane boundary; and associating a lane with the target vehicle based on a relationship between the two-dimensional bounding box and the lane markers.
