SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EFFICIENT OBJECT TRACKING AS A SERVICE VIA EDGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17848743 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EFFICIENT OBJECT TRACKING AS A SERVICE VIA EDGE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for tracking an object using connected vehicles. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves receiving features associated with an object to be tracked and an estimated location of the object.
  • A region of interest is determined around a connected vehicle that includes the estimated location of the object.
  • The features and region of interest are transmitted to the connected vehicle.
  • Object data, including the location of the object, is received from the connected vehicle.
  • The object track, which includes the object's location at different time steps, is updated based on the received object data.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Vehicle tracking and monitoring systems
  • Autonomous driving systems
  • Traffic management and optimization
  • Fleet management and logistics

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and efficiency in tracking objects
  • Enhanced collaboration between connected vehicles
  • Real-time updates on object location

Benefits of this technology:

  • More reliable and precise object tracking
  • Increased safety and situational awareness on the road
  • Improved traffic flow and congestion management
  • Enhanced decision-making for autonomous vehicles and fleet operators


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes receiving features associated with an object to be tracked, receiving an estimated location of the object, determining a region of interest with respect to a first connected vehicle that includes the estimated location of the object, transmitting the features and the region of interest to the first connected vehicle, receiving object data associated with the object from the first connected vehicle, the object data comprising a location of the object, and updating an object track associated with the object based on the object data, the object track comprising the location of the object at a plurality of time steps.
