LOCALIZATION OF A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240199035 titled 'LOCALIZATION OF A VEHICLE
The abstract of the patent application describes a computer system that can determine the location of a vehicle by comparing top-view images of an area obtained from an external sensor and from a camera within the vehicle.
- The computer system includes a processor and memory.
- The memory stores instructions for receiving a first top-view image from an external sensor.
- The system generates a second top-view image of the same area using data from a camera within the vehicle.
- By comparing the two images, the system can estimate the location of the vehicle in the area.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous driving systems - Navigation systems - Traffic management
Problems Solved: - Accurately determining the location of a vehicle in an area - Enhancing the capabilities of vehicle navigation systems
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in vehicle location estimation - Enhanced safety and efficiency in navigation
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Vehicle Location Technology for Autonomous Driving Systems This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles, transportation logistics, and smart city infrastructure, leading to safer and more efficient transportation systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of vehicle location estimation? - This technology uses top-view images to compare the vehicle's actual location with the estimated location, resulting in more precise positioning. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in real-world scenarios? - Challenges may include integrating the system with existing vehicle technologies and ensuring reliable data transmission between sensors and the computer system.
Original Abstract Submitted
a computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive a first top-view image of an area obtained from a sensor external to a vehicle, generate a second top-view image of the area based on data from a camera of the vehicle, and determine an estimated location of the vehicle in the area based on comparing the first top-view image and the second top-view image.
