PARKED CAR CLASSIFICATION BASED ON A VELOCITY ESTIMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17732393 titled 'PARKED CAR CLASSIFICATION BASED ON A VELOCITY ESTIMATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for controlling a vehicle in a specific environment using a parked vehicle recognition system. Here are the key points:

  • The method uses a flow model to determine the flow between two representations of the environment.
  • A velocity model is used to calculate the velocity of a vehicle in the environment based on the flow.
  • A parked vehicle classification model is used to determine if the vehicle is parked, based on its velocity and certain features of the vehicle or the environment.
  • Based on the determination that the vehicle is parked, the method plans a trajectory for the ego vehicle.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method controlling an ego vehicle in an environment includes determining, via a flow model of a parked vehicle recognition system, a flow between a first representation of the environment and a second representation of the environment. The method also includes determining, via a velocity model of the parked vehicle recognition system, a velocity of a vehicle in the environment based on the flow. The method further includes determining, via a parked vehicle classification model of the parked vehicle recognition system, the vehicle is parked based on the velocity of the vehicle and one or more of features associated with the vehicle and/or the environment. The method still further includes planning a trajectory of the ego vehicle based on determining the vehicle is parked.
