    Abstract: A method and system for correcting alignment of images received from cameras by estimating camera alignment parameters based on perturbative correction such that corrected alignment parameters satisfy pairwise epipolar constraints as well as global loop closure constraints. The corrected alignment parameters are estimated as a Least-Mean-Square solution to a system of linear equations and an estimation algorithm may be implemented as a part of a Random Sample Consensus criterion estimation for improved robustness. The method and system is fast and efficient and may be implemented in a real-time system.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a virtual view of a scene captured by a physical camera are described. The physical camera captures an input image with multiple pixels. A desired pose of a virtual camera for showing the virtual view is set. The actual pose of the physical camera is determined, and an epipolar geometry between the actual pose of the physical camera and the desired pose of the virtual camera is defined. The input image and depth data of the pixels of the input image are resampled in epipolar coordinates. A controller performs disparity estimation of the pixels of the input image and a deep neural network, DNN, corrects disparity artifacts in the output image for the desired pose of the virtual camera. The complexity of correcting disparity artifacts in the output image by a DNN is reduced by using epipolar geometry.

    Abstract: A non-line of sight obstacle detection and localization system and method of detecting and localizing a non-line of sight object include receiving reflections at a detection system of a moveable platform, the reflections including direct and multipath reflections, identifying the reflections associated with static targets to retain the reflections associated with moving targets, and distinguishing between line of sight objects and non-line of sight objects among the moving targets. The method also includes localizing the non-line of sight objects relative to the platform and indicating approaching non-line of sight objects among the non-line of sight objects, the approaching non-line of sight objects moving toward the platform on a path that intersects the platform.

    Abstract: A system and method to perform a three-dimensional alignment of a radar and a camera with an area of overlapping fields of view position a corner reflector within the area. The method includes obtaining sensor data for the corner reflector with the radar and the camera, and iteratively repositioning the corner reflector within the area and repeating the obtaining the sensor data. A rotation matrix and a translation vector are determined that align the radar and the camera such that a three-dimensional detection by the radar projects to a location on a two-dimensional image obtained by the camera according to the rotation matrix and the translation vector.
