Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for vehicle navigation. In one implementation, at least one processor may receive, from a camera of a vehicle, at least one image captured from an environment of the vehicle. The processor may analyze the at least one image to identify a road topology feature in the environment of the vehicle represented in the at least one image and at least one point associated with the at least one image. Based on the identified road topology feature, the processor may determine an estimated path in the environment of the vehicle associated with the at least one point. The processor may further cause the vehicle to implement a navigational action based on the estimated path.
Claims23
At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions, which when executed by processor circuitry of a computing device, cause the processor circuitry to perform operations to:
- obtain at least one image of an environment of a vehicle;
- analyze the at least one image to identify a plurality of road features for a road in the environment of the vehicle;
- analyze the at least one image to identify a plurality of vectors in the environment of the vehicle, the plurality of vectors corresponding to the plurality of road features;
- estimate a vehicle trajectory in the environment, based on the plurality of vectors;
- and
- cause the vehicle to implement a navigational action based on the estimated vehicle trajectory.
A computing device, comprising:
- memory to store at least one image that represents an environment of a vehicle;
- and
- processor circuitry configured to:
- analyze the at least one image to identify a plurality of road features for a road in the environment of the vehicle;
- analyze the at least one image to identify a plurality of vectors in the environment of the vehicle, the plurality of vectors corresponding to the plurality of road features;
- estimate a vehicle trajectory in the environment, based on the plurality of vectors;
- and
- cause the vehicle to implement a navigational action based on the estimated vehicle trajectory.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for obtaining at least one image that represents an environment of a vehicle;
- means for analyzing the at least one image to identify a plurality of road features for a road in the environment of the vehicle and to identify a plurality of vectors in the environment of the vehicle, the plurality of vectors corresponding to the plurality of road features;
- means for estimating a vehicle trajectory in the environment, based on the plurality of vectors;
- and
- means for causing the vehicle to implement a navigational action based on the estimated vehicle trajectory.
