JOINT 2D AND 3D OBJECT TRACKING FOR AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17955814 titled 'JOINT 2D AND 3D OBJECT TRACKING FOR AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

- This patent application describes techniques for tracking objects using 2D sensor data. - The system uses first image data to determine the 2D and 3D locations of an object. - It then estimates the object's location in 2D and 3D using the detected locations. - Second image data is used to determine the 2D and 3D locations of a detected object. - The system compares the estimated and detected locations to determine if they correspond to the same object. - If they do, the system updates an object track with 2D and 3D state information.


Original Abstract Submitted

In various examples, techniques for multi-dimensional tracking of objects using two-dimensional (2D) sensor data are described. Systems and methods may use first image data to determine a first 2D detected location and a first three-dimensional (3D) detected location of an object. The systems and methods may then determine a 2D estimated location using the first 2D detected location and a 3D estimated location using the first 3D detected location. The systems and methods may use second image data to determine a second 2D detected location and a second 3D detected location of a detected object, and may then determine that the object corresponds to the detected object using the 2D estimated location, the 3D estimated location, the second 2D detected location, and the second 3D detected location. The systems and method then generate, modify, delete, or otherwise update an object track that includes 2D state information and 3D state information.
