Introduction

Xiaoyang Liu is an inventor associated with Auburn Hills, Michigan, and General Motors Global Technology Operations, Inc. His patent work addresses sensor positioning and calibration for vehicle perception systems.

Latest Patents

Liu is named on 1 patent, titled “Method to Detect Camera Position Change on Moving Vehicle Parts.” The invention describes a system that uses two or more sensors mounted on movable vehicle components. Each sensor captures optical information from a distinct field of view, with at least some overlap between the sensors’ views.

Controllers analyze the overlapping information by calculating conditional correspondence probabilities for feature points and their normalized joint entropy. The system assesses whether sensor positions can be managed, monitors sensor positions continuously, and can dynamically align the sensors. These functions help keep sensors calibrated for vehicle perception tasks, including advanced driver assistance systems.

Career Highlights

The patent reflects Liu’s work on maintaining reliable sensor alignment as vehicle components move. By combining overlapping sensor data with ongoing position monitoring, the disclosed approach aims to support consistent perception in changing conditions.

Collaborations

The patent information identifies General Motors Global Technology Operations, Inc. as Liu’s company and names Ismail Hamieh as a coworker. The available details do not specify their individual roles in developing the invention.

Conclusion

Xiaoyang Liu’s patent focuses on detecting and managing sensor position changes on movable vehicle parts, supporting calibrated sensing for advanced driver assistance and other vehicle perception functions.
