Abstract:
A computer-implemented method of determining a relative velocity between a vehicle and an object. The method includes receiving sensor data generated by one or more sensors of the vehicle configured to sense an environment following a scan pattern. The method also includes obtaining, based on the sensor data, a point cloud frame. The point cloud frame comprises a plurality of points of depth data and a time at which the depth data was captured. Additionally, the method includes selecting two or more points of the scan pattern that overlap the object. The selected points are located on or near a two-dimensional surface corresponding to the object, and the depth data for two or more of the selected points are captured at different times. The method includes calculating the relative velocity between the vehicle and the object based on the depth data and capture times associated with the selected points.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method of determining a relative velocity between a vehicle and an object, the method comprising:\n receiving sensor data generated by one or more sensors of the vehicle, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to sense an environment of the vehicle by following a scan pattern comprising component scan lines; obtaining, based on the sensor data and by one or more processors, a point cloud frame representative of the environment, the point cloud frame comprising a plurality of points, each point comprising depth data associated with the point and a time at which the depth data was captured; selecting, by the one or more processors, two or more points of the scan pattern that overlap the object, wherein:\n the selected points are located on or near a two-dimensional surface corresponding to at least part of the object, and the depth data for two or more of the selected points are captured at different times; and \n selecting the two or more points comprises:\n identifying a region of the point cloud frame that corresponds to a location of the object in the point cloud frame; and \n selecting the two or more points from within the identified region of the point cloud frame; and \n \n calculating, by the one or more processors, the relative velocity between the vehicle and the object based at least in part on the depth data and capture times associated with the selected points.
