Title: Tarek A. R. Abdel Rahman and Vehicle Localization Innovation.

Introduction

Tarek A. R. Abdel Rahman is an inventor associated with Madison Heights, Michigan, and General Motors Global Technology Operations, Inc. His patent work addresses visual simultaneous localization and mapping (V-SLAM), a technology that helps a mobile host, such as a vehicle, estimate its position and understand its surroundings.

Latest Patents

Abdel Rahman is credited with 1 patent: “Vehicle with Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping System and Dynamic Outlier Rejection Functionality.” The invention describes a sensor suite and controller that process input data to estimate the vehicle’s poses and calculate three-dimensional coordinates for feature map points. The controller identifies outliers using a predetermined linear algebra property, such as condition numbers, then dynamically filters them using dynamic covariance scaling. The resulting feature map point set is sent to the vehicle’s navigation system.

Career Highlights

The patent reflects work on improving the reliability of vehicle localization and mapping. By detecting and filtering outlier data, the system is designed to provide a more useful feature map for navigation.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Ryan A. Sierzega and Bo Yu as Abdel Rahman’s coworkers at General Motors Global Technology Operations, Inc. Their names are provided as workplace associations and do not, by themselves, establish their roles in the patent.

Conclusion

Tarek A. R. Abdel Rahman’s patent focuses on robust vehicle localization by combining V-SLAM data processing with dynamic outlier rejection for navigation.
