Abstract
A system is comprised of one or more processors coupled to memory. The one or more processors are configured to receive image data based on an image captured using a camera of a vehicle and to utilize the image data as a basis of an input to a trained machine learning model to at least in part identify a distance of an object from the vehicle. The trained machine learning model has been trained using a training image and a correlated output of an emitting distance sensor.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive image data based on an image captured using a camera of a vehicle;
- and
- utilize the image data as a basis of an input to a trained machine learning model to at least in part identify a distance of an object from the vehicle;
- wherein the trained machine learning model has been trained using a training image and a correlated output of an emitting distance sensor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors.
A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- receiving image data based on an image captured using a camera of a vehicle;
- and
- utilizing the image data as a basis of an input to a trained machine learning model to at least in part identify a distance of an object from the vehicle, wherein the trained machine learning model has been trained using a training image and a correlated output of an emitting distance sensor.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a selected image based on an image captured using a camera of a vehicle;
- receiving distance data based on an emitting distance sensor of the vehicle;
- identifying an object using the selected image as an input to a trained machine learning model;
- extracting a distance estimate of the identified object from the received distance data;
- creating a training image by annotating the selected image with the extracted distance estimate;
- training a second machine learning model to predict a distance measurement using a training data set that includes the training image;
- and
- providing the trained second machine learning model to a second vehicle equipped with a second camera.
