Abstract
Systems and methods for fail-safe corrective actions based on vision information for autonomous driving. An example method is implemented by a processor system included in a vehicle, with the method comprising obtaining images from image sensors positioned about the vehicle. Visibility information is determined for at least a portion of the images. Adjustment of operation of an autonomous vehicle is caused based on the visibility information.
Claims20
A method implemented by a processor system included in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining images from image sensors positioned about the vehicle;
- determining visibility information for at least a portion of the images, wherein the images are input into a machine learning model and a forward pass through the machine learning model is computed, and wherein the machine learning model is trained to assign individual visibility values indicative of visibility loss associated with individual portions of images;
- and
- causing adjustment of operation of autonomous vehicle based on visibility information.
A system comprising one or more processors and non-transitory computer storage media including instructions that when executed by the processors cause the processors to perform operations, wherein the system is included in a vehicle, and wherein the operations comprise:
- obtaining images from image sensors positioned about the vehicle;
- determining visibility information for at least a portion of the images, wherein the images are input into a machine learning model and a forward pass through the machine learning model is computed, and wherein the machine learning model is trained to assign individual visibility values indicative of visibility loss associated with individual portions of images;
- and
- causing adjustment of operation of autonomous vehicle based on visibility information.
Non-transitory computer storage media storing instructions that when executed by a system of one or more processors, cause the one r more processors to perform operations, wherein the system is included in a vehicle, and wherein the operations comprise:
- obtaining images from image sensors positioned about the vehicle;
- determining visibility information for at least a portion of the images, wherein the images are input into a machine learning model and a forward pass through the machine learning model is computed, and wherein the machine learning model is trained to assign individual visibility values indicative of visibility loss associated with individual portions of images;
- and
- causing adjustment of operation of autonomous vehicle based on visibility information.
