Latest Patents

The provided data lists one patent for Miles: “Systems and Methods for Detecting and Tracking Objects in an Environment of an Autonomous Vehicle.” The invention describes receiving sensor data about objects around an autonomous vehicle, identifying the portion of an object observed with the greatest accuracy and confidence, and determining features of that portion. A machine-learning model is trained using those features and an error metric comparing the observed portion with corresponding ground-truth data. The trained model is then used to detect or track objects in the vehicle’s environment. Miles’s listed patent portfolio comprises 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Miles’s listed invention addresses a central challenge in autonomous driving: reliably recognizing and tracking objects from sensor observations. The approach emphasizes the most confidently observed portion of an object when training the machine-learning model.

Collaborations
