Calibrating vehicle sensors along specific paths based on rewards
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11970183B2) discloses a vehicle system that includes a processor and memory storing instructions for calibrating sensors while the vehicle is in motion. The system identifies triggers for calibration, generates calibration-aware paths from one location to another along roads, scores these paths based on calibration targets and trajectories, and selects the best path considering passenger rewards. The vehicle then travels along this path, calibrating sensors during the journey. The system also stores calibration paths in a database for future use and provides trip information to passengers, including comfort and cost details.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method and storage medium for implementing the calibration process. The method involves identifying calibration triggers, generating calibration-aware paths, scoring these paths based on calibration targets, and selecting the optimal path based on scores and passenger rewards. The vehicle then travels along this path for sensor calibration. Additionally, the system can generate new calibration paths if sensors are not fully calibrated upon reaching the destination, selecting paths based on factors like fuel economy and strong calibration targets. The system can also receive requests for path generation based on trip and calibration information, exploring parameter space along the paths for calibration. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated system for sensor calibration in vehicles, ensuring accurate calibration while considering passenger preferences and optimizing the calibration process for efficient operation.
