Abstract
A machine-learning system is trained to adapt light transmitted from an array of light emitters in order to disrupt a navigation system that employs a camera. Training comprises receiving image-processing outputs and/or navigation signals from the navigation system; configuring the array of light emitters to occupy a portion of a field of view of the camera; adapting a modulation pattern of light emitted by the array; and determining, from the image-processing outputs and/or navigation signals, if the modulation pattern affects at least one of image processing or navigation control performed in the navigation system.
Claims15
A method to manipulate a vehicle that employs one or more optical sensors for autonomous navigation, the method comprising:
- receiving measurements from at least one sensor that is responsive to the vehicle's movement;
- employing an artificial neural network (ANN) to adapt a modulation pattern used to modulate an array of light emitters;
- transmitting the modulation pattern from the array of light emitters to the one or more optical sensors;
- and
- determining, from the measurements, if the modulation pattern affects the vehicle's movement and configuring the ANN to adapt the modulation pattern to cause a predetermined type of movement.
A method of disrupting a navigation system that employs a camera, the method comprising:
- receiving output signals from the navigation system comprising at least one of image-processing outputs and navigation signals;
- configuring an array of light emitters to occupy a portion of a field of view of the camera;
- employing an artificial neural network (ANN) to adapt a modulation pattern of light emitted by the array;
- and
- determining, from the output signals, if the modulation pattern affects at least one of image processing or navigation control performed in the navigation system and configuring the ANN to adapt the modulation pattern to cause a predetermined type of movement.
