Latest Patents

The provided information identifies one patent associated with Kinder: Method for Creating a Lane Model. The method records the ego-vehicle’s surroundings using at least two environment-detection sensors and evaluates the resulting sensor data to determine a roadway. It extracts detections from one sensor that may correspond to the roadway, estimates the ground plane or ground curvature from that sensor’s data, and combines the estimate with data from another sensor to create a lane model. This approach brings together complementary sensor information to represent roadway lanes.

Career Highlights

Kinder’s listed patent reflects work at the intersection of vehicle sensing, roadway interpretation, and lane-model generation.
