Measuring small angles of wheels of a steered axle using cameras with motion magnification

An autonomous vehicle, comprising:

• a plurality of image sensors;
• at least one memory configured to store machine executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to execute the machine executable instructions to control lateral movement of the autonomous vehicle by configuring the at least one processor to:
• receive sensor data including video data from at least one image sensor of the plurality of image sensors;
• process the sensor data to generate motion magnified sensor data;
• process the motion magnified sensor data to generate an angle of steered wheels of the autonomous vehicle;
• and
• supply the angle as feedback data to operate the autonomous vehicle within a driving lane.

A computer-implemented method to control lateral movement of an autonomous vehicle, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving sensor data including video data from at least one image sensor of a plurality of image sensors;
• processing the sensor data to generate motion magnified sensor data;
• processing the motion magnified sensor data to generate an angle of steered wheels of the autonomous vehicle;
• and
• supplying the angle as feedback data to operate the autonomous vehicle within a driving lane.
