Patent ID: 11900692
Assignee: GM CRUISE HOLDINGS LLC
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
outputting, by an object tracker, one or more tracked objects;
receiving images by a first vehicle signal detector and a second vehicle signal detector;
determining, by the first vehicle signal detector implementing a first technique, first intermediary vehicle signal light semantic classifications based on the images;
determining, by the second vehicle signal detector implementing a second technique different from the first technique, second intermediary vehicle signal light semantic classifications based on the same images;
receiving further images different from the images by a third vehicle signal detector;
determining, by the third vehicle signal detector, third intermediary vehicle signal light semantic classifications based on the further images;
collecting first time-series data generated by the first vehicle signal detector, wherein the first time-series data comprises the first intermediary vehicle signal light semantic classifications;
collecting second time-series data generated by the second vehicle signal detector, wherein the second time-series data comprises the second intermediary semantic vehicle signal light classifications;
collecting third time-series data generated by the third vehicle signal detector, wherein the third time-series data comprises the third intermediary vehicle signal light semantic classifications;
fusing the first time-series data, the second time-series data, and third time-series data, into a matrix of information; and
deducing a final semantic detection of a vehicle signal light based on the matrix of information, and the one or more tracked objects.
