Patent Applications by NVIDIA Corporation

20240336285. EFFICIENT SAFETY AWARE PATH SELECTION AND PLANNING FOR AUTONOMOUS MACHINE APPLICATIONS_simplified_abstract_(nvidia corporation)

Inventor(s): Julia Ng of San Jose CA (US) for nvidia corporation, David Nister of Bellevue WA (US) for nvidia corporation, Zhenyi Zhang of San Jose CA (US) for nvidia corporation, Yizhou Wang of San Jose CA (US) for nvidia corporation

IPC Code(s): B60W60/00, B60W30/095

CPC Code(s): B60W60/00272



Abstract: in various examples, systems and methods are disclosed for weighting one or more optional paths based on obstacle avoidance or other safety considerations. in some embodiments, the obstacle avoidance considerations may be computed using a comparison of trajectories representative of safety procedures at present and future projected time steps of an ego-vehicle and other actors to ensure that each actor is capable of implementing their respective safety procedure while avoiding collisions at any point along the trajectory. this comparison may include filtering out a path(s) of an actor at a time step(s)—e.g., using a one-dimensional lookup—based on spatial relationships between the actor and the ego-vehicle at the time step(s). where a particular path—or point along the path—does not satisfy a collision-free standard, the path may be penalized more negatively with respect to the obstacle avoidance considerations, or may be removed from consideration as a potential path.

Abstract: approaches in accordance with various embodiments can perform spatial hash map updates while ensuring the atomicity of the updates for arbitrary data structures. a hash map can be generated for a dataset where entries in the hash map may correspond to multiple independent values, such as pixels of an image to be rendered. update requests for independent values may be received on multiple concurrent threads, but change requests for independent values corresponding to a hash map entry can be aggregated from a buffer and processed iteratively in a single thread for a given hash map entry. in the case of multi-resolution spatial hashing where data can be stored at various discretization levels, this operation can be repeated to propagate changes from one level to another.

Abstract: in various examples, the actual spatial properties of a virtual environment are used to produce, for a pixel, an anisotropic filter kernel for a filter having dimensions and weights that accurately reflect the spatial characteristics of the virtual environment. geometry of the virtual environment may be computed based at least in part on a projection of a light source onto a surface through an occluder, in order to determine a footprint that reflects a contribution of the light source to lighting conditions of the pixel associated with a point on the surface. the footprint may define a size, orientation, and/or shape of the anisotropic filter kernel and corresponding filter weights. the anisotropic filter kernel may be applied to the pixel to produce a graphically-rendered image of the virtual environment.


20240339035. PATH PERCEPTION DIVERSITY AND REDUNDANCY IN AUTONOMOUS MACHINE APPLICATIONS_simplified_abstract_(nvidia corporation)

Inventor(s): Davide Marco Onofrio of San Francisco CA (US) for nvidia corporation, Hae-Jong Seo of San Jose CA (US) for nvidia corporation, David Nister of Bellevue WA (US) for nvidia corporation, Minwoo Park of Saratoga CA (US) for nvidia corporation, Neda Cvijetic of East Palo Alto CA (US) for nvidia corporation

IPC Code(s): G08G1/16, G06F18/23, G06N3/08, G06V20/56

CPC Code(s): G08G1/167



Abstract: in various examples, a path perception ensemble is used to produce a more accurate and reliable understanding of a driving surface and/or a path there through. for example, an analysis of a plurality of path perception inputs provides testability and reliability for accurate and redundant lane mapping and/or path planning in real-time or near real-time. by incorporating a plurality of separate path perception computations, a means of metricizing path perception correctness, quality, and reliability is provided by analyzing whether and how much the individual path perception signals agree or disagree. by implementing this approach—where individual path perception inputs fail in almost independent ways—a system failure is less statistically likely. in addition, with diversity and redundancy in path perception, comfortable lane keeping on high curvature roads, under severe road conditions, and/or at complex intersections, as well as autonomous negotiation of turns at intersections, may be enabled.
