Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, an apparatus, and a computer program for a vehicle, more specifically, to a method, an apparatus, and a computer program for determining positions of other vehicles based on received collective perception messages. The method comprises receiving (110) one or more collective perception messages. Each collective perception messages comprises information on an absolute position of a vehicle generating the collective perception message and a relative position of one or more further vehicles being perceived by the vehicle generating the collective perception message. The method comprises placing (120) the respective vehicle generating the collective perception message and the one or more further vehicles being perceived by the vehicle generating the collective perception message on a map using the positions received in the one or more collective perception messages. The method comprises correlating (130) the positions of the vehicles on the map with a course of the road the respective vehicles are travelling on, and correcting (140) the respective positions based on the correlation between the course of the road and the positions of the vehicles.

Abstract: Techniques for image quality enhancement for autonomous vehicle remote operations are disclosed herein. An image processing system of an autonomous vehicle can obtain images captured by at least two different cameras and stitch the images together to create a combined image. The image processing system can apply region blurring to a portion of the combined image to create an enhanced combined image, e.g., to blur regions/objects determined to be less import (or unimportant) for the remote operations. The image processing system can encode pixel areas of the enhanced combined image using a corresponding quality setting for respective pixel areas to create encoded image files, e.g., based on complexity levels of the respective pixel areas. The image processing system can transmit the encoded image files to a remote operations system associated with the autonomous vehicle for remote operations support.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for filtering obstacle candidates determined based on outputs of a LIDAR device in an autonomous vehicle is disclosed. A point cloud comprising a plurality of points is generated based on outputs of the LIDAR device (610). One or more obstacle candidates are determined based on the point cloud (620). The one or more obstacle candidates are filtered to remove a first set of obstacle candidates in the one or more obstacle candidates that correspond to noise based at least in part on characteristics associated with points that correspond to each of the one or more obstacle candidates (630). One or more recognized obstacles comprising the obstacle candidates that have not been removed are determined (640). Operations of an autonomous vehicle are controlled based on the recognized obstacles (650).

Abstract: At compile-time, a processor develops a computer program by receiving an input that includes multiple nodes and connections between pairs of the nodes. The nodes represent object properties such as properties of objects that an autonomous vehicle (AV) detects while moving about an environment. For each node, the system will identify a depth that represents a number of nodes along a longest path from that node to any available input node. The system will order the nodes by depth in a sequence, and it will build a graph-based program specification that includes the nodes in the sequence, along with the connections. The graph- based program specification may correspond to a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The system will compile the graph-based program specification into a computer-readable program, and it will save the computer-readable program to a memory so that the AV or other system can use it at run-time.

Abstract: Autonomous driving systems described herein provide an efficient way to manage camera-based perception by considering the characteristics of captured images. In one example, a camera sensor may capture an image and a processor may determine a first region of interest (ROI) within the image and a second ROI within the image. The processor may generate a first image of the first ROI and a second image of the second ROI. The processor may transmit a control signal based on one or more objects detected in the first ROI and/or one or more objects detected in the second ROI to cause the vehicle to perform an autonomous driving operation.
