Systems and methods for accelerated warp design

Abstract

A system for navigating a host vehicle relative to a road segment receives a first image frame acquired at a first time by a camera onboard the host vehicle and a second image frame acquired at a second time by the camera onboard the host vehicle with the second time being later than the first time. Based on analysis of the first image frame a point cloud of 3D points for the first image frame is generated that includes at least a predicted range value for each of a plurality of pixels included in the first image frame where the predicted range value for each of the plurality of pixels being indicative of distance between the camera and one or more objects in an environment of the host vehicle. A synthentic image frame based on the generated point cloud of 3D points and known ego motion characteristics of the host vehicle from the first time to the second time is generated and compared to the second image frame to determine movement information associated with at least one object in the environment of the host vehicle. Based on this determined movement a navigational action for the host vehicle is generated and causes at least one component associated with the host vehicle to implement the navigational action. The generation of the synthentic image frame may include dividing the synthentic image frame into a plurality of tiles, and for each of the plurality of tiles, determining at least one corresponding bounding box in the first image and populating pixels within each of the plurality of tiles based on pixels included in at least one corresponding bounding box. {Figure 14}
