Abstract
Systems and methods for vehicle identification are described herein. A set of vehicle identification information may be obtained from a set of autonomous vehicles. Individual vehicle identification information may convey identifications of one or more vehicles and locations of the one or more vehicles. Vehicle context information for individual vehicles may be determined from the set of vehicle identification information. The vehicle context information for the individual vehicles may describe a context of the individual vehicles. The context may include one or a combination of a speed of travel, a direction of travel, a trajectory, or an identity profile.
Claims20
A system for vehicle identification, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform:
- obtaining, from a plurality of autonomous vehicles, a set of vehicle identification information, wherein each of the set of vehicle identification information is obtained from a corresponding autonomous vehicle in the plurality of autonomous vehicles, and comprises image or video information of identifications and locations of one or more vehicles that are in an environment surrounding the corresponding autonomous vehicle;
- identifying a plurality of identifications in the set of vehicle identification information that belong to an individual vehicle, wherein the identifying comprises:
- identifying two or more identifications in the set of vehicle identification information being within a threshold degree of sameness;
- and
- identifying two or more identifications in the set of vehicle identification information comprising one or more overlapping parts of a same vehicle;
- determining vehicle context information of a plurality of individual vehicles based on the plurality of identifications belonging to each of the plurality of individual vehicles;
- receiving a request for identifying a target vehicle, wherein the request comprises an identification of the target vehicle;
- and
- identifying and returning vehicle context information of the target vehicle.
A method for vehicle identification, the method comprising:
- obtaining, from a plurality of autonomous vehicles, a set of vehicle identification information, wherein each of the set of vehicle identification information is obtained from a corresponding autonomous vehicle in the plurality of autonomous vehicles, and comprises image or video information of identifications and locations of one or more vehicles that are in an environment surrounding the corresponding autonomous vehicle;
- identifying a plurality of identifications in the set of vehicle identification information that belong to an individual vehicle, wherein the identifying comprises:
- identifying two or more identifications in the set of vehicle identification information being within a threshold degree of sameness;
- and
- identifying two or more identifications in the set of vehicle identification information comprising one or more overlapping parts of a same vehicle;
- determining vehicle context information of a plurality of individual vehicles based on the plurality of identifications belonging to each of the plurality of individual vehicles;
- receiving a request for identifying a target vehicle, wherein the request comprises an identification of the target vehicle;
- and
- identifying and returning vehicle context information of the target vehicle.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured with instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, from a plurality of autonomous vehicles, a set of vehicle identification information, wherein each of the set of vehicle identification information is obtained from a corresponding autonomous vehicle in the plurality of autonomous vehicles, and comprises image or video information of identifications and locations of one or more vehicles that are in an environment surrounding the corresponding autonomous vehicle;
- identifying a plurality of identifications in the set of vehicle identification information that belong to an individual vehicle, wherein the identifying comprises:
- identifying two or more identifications in the set of vehicle identification information being within a threshold degree of sameness;
- and
- identifying two or more identifications in the set of vehicle identification information comprising one or more overlapping parts of a same vehicle;
- determining vehicle context information of a plurality of individual vehicles based on the plurality of identifications belonging to each of the plurality of individual vehicles;
- receiving a request for identifying a target vehicle, wherein the request comprises an identification of the target vehicle;
- and
- identifying and returning vehicle context information of the target vehicle.
