Abstract

Systems and methods for scheduling environment perception-based data offloading for numerous connected vehicles are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for offloading data includes capturing an image of a view of interest from a vehicle, segmenting the image into a plurality of blocks, and determining a scheduling priority for each of one or more blocks among the plurality of blocks based on block values, wherein the block values relate to one or more objects of interest contained in each of the one or more blocks. The method further includes offloading, from the vehicle to a server, one or more blocks based on the scheduling priority of the one or more blocks.
