Systems and Methods for Managing Tracks Within an Occluded Region - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18179165 titled 'Systems and Methods for Managing Tracks Within an Occluded Region
The patent application describes a system and method for removing tracks from a tracker when the tracks are within an occluded region.
- Define a map of a driving area
- Define an occlusion area within the map
- Detect an object using sensor data from one or more sensors
- Determine that the object entered the occlusion area
- Create an estimated object location for the object within the occlusion area
- Drop the estimated object location for the object when the occlusion area is cleared
Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicles - Surveillance systems - Robotics
Problems Solved: - Removing tracks from a tracker in occluded regions - Improving object tracking accuracy
Benefits: - Enhanced object tracking efficiency - Improved navigation in complex environments
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Object Tracking System for Autonomous Vehicles This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles for more accurate object tracking and navigation in challenging environments, leading to safer and more efficient transportation systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system improve object tracking in occluded regions? - This system uses sensor data to detect objects and create estimated object locations within occluded areas, improving tracking accuracy. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond autonomous vehicles? - This technology can also be applied in surveillance systems and robotics for enhanced object tracking capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
Exemplary embodiments described herein include systems and method to remove tracks from a tracker when the tracks are within an occluded region, including defining a map of a driving area; defining an occlusion area within the map; detecting an object using sensor data from one or more sensors; determining that the object entered the occlusion area; creating an estimated object location for the object within the occlusion area; dropping the estimated object location for the object when the occlusion area is cleared.
