VELOCITY ESTIMATION AND OBJECT TRACKING FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE APPLICATIONS
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250093873 titled 'VELOCITY ESTIMATION AND OBJECT TRACKING FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE APPLICATIONS
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects and implementations of the present disclosure address shortcomings of the existing technology by enabling velocity estimation for efficient object identification and tracking in autonomous vehicle (av) applications, including: obtaining, by a sensing system of the av, a plurality of return points, each return point having a velocity value and coordinates of a reflecting region that reflects a signal emitted by the sensing system, identifying an association of the velocity values and the coordinates of return points with a motion of a physical object, the motion being a combination of a translational motion and a rotational motion of a rigid body, and causing a driving path of the av to be determined in view of the motion of the physical object.
