Embodiment Construction

[0043] The present disclosure provides an autonomous vehicle including a vehicle camera alignment system, a method, and a software program product for improving the visual detection capabilities of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle includes at least one variable pitch camera. A variable pitch camera has a variable and movable non-zero pitch that is adjustable in the direction of motion of the ego vehicle. Varying the pitch of the variable-tilt camera to maximize the image clarity and / or resolution of images captured by the variable-tilt camera to ensure accurate data is used to reconstruct objects and / or objects associated with the path of the autonomous vehicle surroundings. More accurate image reconstruction data is used to control the movement of the autonomous vehicle.

[0044] figure 1 Embodiment 10 of an autonomous vehicle 100 is shown. According to the present invention, the autonomous vehicle 100 includes a plurality of variable pitch cameras 110 , 111...

Abstract

The present invention provides an autonomous vehicle capable of driving independently through dense traffic paths and transporting objects or people, even on rough road surfaces, while ensuring vehicle safety and overall road safety. The autonomous vehicle includes at least one variable-tilt camera for generating images for computer vision to control the autonomous vehicle. The present invention facilitates changing the pitch of a variable-pitch camera as the autonomous vehicle moves to maximize camera image sharpness and / or resolution. These images can be used for lane detection, pedestrian detection, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the environment, and / or pothole detection. With the present invention, at least one image from a variable-pitch camera is used to control the movement and / or trajectory of the autonomous vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an autonomous (autonomous, self-driving) vehicle having a camera, and more particularly, to an autonomous vehicle having a camera for improving the visual detection capabilities of the autonomous vehicle. Background technique [0002] Autonomous vehicles capable of independently controlled operations requiring minimal human intervention can be used to transport people and objects. Typically, some autonomous vehicles require initial input from an operator, while some other designs of autonomous vehicles are under constant operator control. Some autonomous vehicles can be operated entirely remotely. For example, in a normal human-driven car such as a Tesla, autonomous parking is an example of an autonomous vehicle in motion. [0003] Furthermore, autonomous vehicles need to operate under dynamically changing environmental conditions. For example, an autonomous vehicle may need to track a path over varying road stretch...
