Lidar data processing

PCT designated stage expiredWO2025114697A1Electromagnetic wave reradiationMoving averageToll road
Techniques are presented for processing LIDAR data from a sensor mounted for example on a gantry over a roadway. The processing method disclosed classifies blank data points into "active blank" (which is supposed to be caused by a nonreflective object) or "inactive blank" (which is supposed to be a caused by a faulty sensor). By classifying blank data points in this way, processing is better able to distinguish, for example, two vehicles following close behind from a single vehicle having a poorly-reflective roof. Data points are classified at the same time as downsampling with little computational expense by taking advantage of the higher resolution data available before downsampling. The result of the combined downsampling and classification is a time series for each "pixel" where there will be far fewer pixels than there are raw point measurements. A LIDAR sensor (10) is typically mounted on a gantry (12) over a roadway (14). Typical arrangements are on a toll road having multiple LIDAR sensors across the gantry to detect vehicles at any point across the full width of the road. Scan lines (16a, 16b, 16c) typically extend substantially across the width of a lane, at three positions along the length of the lane. Moving averages associated with time series of sensor data are maintained wherein a first and a second moving average are measures of how often a data point in the time series has been classified as blank and non-blank, respectively.

Enrolling a vehicle with a vehicle charging authority system comprises, receiving, by a remote vehicle charging authority service (VCAS) server, a vehicle service enrollment request message. The vehicle service enrollment request message comprises data associated with a vehicle that has entered a proximity corridor area associated with the VCAS. The VCAS server determines that the vehicle is not registered with the VCAS. In response to determining that the vehicle is unregistered, the VCAS server transmits a vehicle registration invitation message which notifies an operator of the vehicle that the vehicle is not registered with the VCAS and invites the operator of the vehicle to enroll the vehicle with the VCAS. The invitation message can be displayed to the operator of the vehicle. The VCAS may operate toll roads, congestion zones or high-occupancy tolling (HOT). The vehicle may have a location sensor, such as a GNSS sensor, and determining the entrance to a proximity corridor area may use a geofence.
