Title: Extended object tracking using radar
Inventor: NIKHIL BHARADWAJ GOSALA
IPC: G01S13/72
Filed: 2020-09-10
Abstract: A method and system for tracking an object relative to a vehicle using at least one radar sensor of the vehicle. The arrangement comprising, receiving at a vehicle processor, return points from at least one radar sensor of the vehicle, generating one or more clusters based on the received points, determining an estimated position and velocity of each cluster, determining if the clusters relate to an existing object track and if so updating the existing object track with the positions of the clusters. Where no associated track is identified the method preferably creates a new object track. Generating the clusters may comprise filtering the return points to remove points having a range rate less than a threshold or a density based spatial clustering. The process mat involve determining a length width and centre of each cluster, the centre being used as the reference point for the cluster. Identifying a cluster associated with an existing track may be determined from differences between the estimated positions and velocities of the clusters and the predicted position of the object track, differences below a threshold being considered an association of the cluster and object track. The state of the existing object track may be maintained and updated using a Kalman filter and includes position, velocity and size of the tracked object.

Title: Lightweight and efficient object segmentation and counting method based on generative adversarial network (GAN)
Inventor: Xianding He
IPC: G06V10/82
Filed: 2023-02-03
Abstract: Used in video image processing, an object segmentation and counting method based on a generative adversarial network (GAN) comprises an encoder, decoder and predictor stage. A feature map is produced by a down sampling encoder from an image. A counting layer predicts a quantity of objects in the image and a decoder employs fold beyond-nearest up-sampling (FBU) which reduces calculations and accelerates neural network operation, improves efficiency and optimizes structure. A predictor produces a predicted segmented feature map which is passed with a truth value of the image to a coordination discriminator which subsequently obtains a generator discrimination matrix. Total training loss is calculated based on accumulated data which is iteratively used to obtain a trained generator. A fused feature map is produced from the input image which is subsequently processed by feature extraction convolution modules to produce a discriminant feature map. A predicted fake and real discrimination matrices are subsequently produced and the total training loss is obtained and fed back, with steps of the method being repeated until generators and discriminators meet a predetermined condition.
