Autonomous vehicle classifies and prioritizes objects for computational resource management
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11926343B2) discloses a method performed by an autonomous vehicle, involving determining the vehicle's location and the surrounding area based on a map, analyzing sensor data to identify objects nearby, and classifying these objects based on a set of rules. The method includes monitoring objects based on their classification, assigning frequencies for updating attributes of objects, and sending instructions for vehicle actions like applying brakes in response to a slowing vehicle in the same lane.
The patent also describes a system with a computer, processor, and memory that execute instructions to determine the vehicle's location, analyze sensor data for object attributes, select a classification policy, monitor and classify objects, and send instructions for vehicle actions. The system includes sensors like cameras, LiDAR, or Radars to gather data, and the classification policy is selected based on the vehicle's operating area and the number of objects nearby. The method and system aim to enhance autonomous vehicle operations by efficiently monitoring and responding to objects in the vehicle's vicinity, ensuring safe and effective navigation in various environments like highways or intersections.
