A few days ago, it was reported that Apple's automatic driving technology was first publicly disclosed. In an email to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Apple also revealed that it will invest heavily in many fields in the future. Learning and automation, including the transportation system, it seems that Apple is really interested in autonomous driving technology! However, it should be noted that Apple's e-mail to the Financial Times' statement is not difficult to interpret Apple's position in the industry is actually more inclined to build "bottom" work such as technology and information sharing platform.
On December 9th, the US Patent and Trademark Office passed a patent on Apple's self-driving car this week. This patent introduces an automatic collision avoidance system, and in the future it will become a solution to the basic telemetry technology of driverless vehicles. Program.
Apple's patent, called "Arbitrary Polygons Avoiding Barrier Collision Systems," proves that Apple is testing machine learning and computer vision auto-proxy systems. And this system is designed for robots, and the words of self-driving cars appear. This technique details the basic avoidance collision system through the navigation environment without prior predetermined goals. In particular, it is possible to perform difficult tasks in 2D and 3D space.
Apple's technology can be applied to avoid convex and concave surfaces becoming obstacles to stationary collision targets during movement. More importantly, for the driverless car, the collision avoidance system can further complete the avoidance collision by recognizing the edge of the obstacle with a simple geometric pattern.
Driverless cars typically predict the location of the front space for a limited amount of time and operate the field of view through cameras and other hardware sensors. With this extension, you can take advantage of more powerful optical systems, processors, and sophisticated detection barrier algorithms to avoid obstacles.
Apple's new patent allows autopilot cars to update road conditions around the car at 60 times per second and detect multiple oncoming obstacles, and more specifically, it can detect every obstacle. The edge distance of the object, so as to avoid.
Apple has always been a "reliable" company, and its products, including mobile phones, computers, and tablets, are all benchmark products. Driverlessness is not Apple's first research. There have been many successful precedents before it, but Xiaobian also believes that Apple also wants to maintain its attitude of staying behind, and can also make benchmarking products like the mobile computer industry.
