System and method for producing an adversarial article that may be used to disrupt an automated visual tracking process. An input module receives input related to a specific automated visual tracking process. Based on that input, a pattern-design module generates an adversarial pattern. The adversarial pattern may then be applied to an article, which may be any kind of physical or virtual object. The tracker's normal processing modes are disrupted when the tracker attempts to process an image containing the adversarial article(s). The tracker may be mounted on an autonomous vehicle, a mobile robot, or other mobile or stationary camera surveillance system.

Articles for disrupting automated visual object tracking processes

Methods of and systems for operating an embedded system of a vehicle during a coupling operation of the vehicle with a trailer having a coupler. The method comprises accessing a video stream generated by a video camera; operating an object detection module on the video stream so as to detect the trailer and/or the coupler and establish one or more regions of interest. The method also comprises generating a vehicle referential point estimated position of a vehicle referential point and generating a coupler position with respect to the vehicle referential point estimated position based on the one or more regions of interests and the vehicle referential point estimated position.
