SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING PEDESTRIANS WITH CROSSWALKING OR JAYWALKING INTENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18321120 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING PEDESTRIANS WITH CROSSWALKING OR JAYWALKING INTENT
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes systems, methods, and computer program products for detecting and using the intentions of living actors in an environment. - The system uses perception data obtained from a computing device to analyze the environment and detect crosswalks, mobile systems, and living actors traveling on foot. - The system can infer the intention of a first living actor to cross the road when a mobile system is yielding at a crosswalk near the actor. - The system can also infer the intention of a second living actor to jaywalk based on their movements in relation to a parked mobile system nearby. - This technology aims to improve safety and efficiency in environments with both pedestrians and mobile systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer program products for detecting and using intentions of living actors in an environment. The methods comprise: obtaining, by a computing device, perception data associated with the environment; analyzing, by the computing device, the perception data to detect any crosswalks, mobile systems and living actors that are traveling on foot in the environment; and inferring, by the computing device, an existence of (a) a first living actor who likely has a crosswalking intent when one of the mobile systems is yielding at a respective crosswalk of the crosswalks proximate to the first living actor and/or (b) a second living actor who likely has a jaywalking intent based on movements of the second living actor in relation to a nearby one of the mobile systems that is parked.
