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 comprising:
- retrieving, by at least one processor, image data from a sensor of a vehicle;
- executing, by the at least one processor, a machine learning model to determine a visibility value for at least a portion of the image data, the visibility value corresponding to a degree of visibility loss associated with at least the portion of the image data;
- and
- providing, by the at least one processor, a control signal to cause an adjustment of operation of the vehicle based on the visibility value.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- one or more processors and non-transitory computer storage media including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, wherein the system is included in a vehicle, and wherein the operations comprise:
- retrieving image data from a sensor of a vehicle;
- executing a machine learning model to determine a visibility value for at least a portion of the image data, the visibility value corresponding to a degree of visibility loss associated with at least the portion of the image data;
- and
- providing a control signal to cause an adjustment of operation of the vehicle based on the visibility value.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a vehicle;
- a sensor associated with the vehicle;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the sensor, the at least one processor configured to:
- retrieve image data from the sensor;
- execute a machine learning model to determine a visibility value for at least a portion of the image data, the visibility value corresponding to a degree of visibility loss associated with at least the portion of the image data;
- and
- provide a control signal to cause an adjustment of operation of the vehicle based on the visibility value.
