US Patent Issued to NVIDIA on July 14 for "Object tracking using LiDAR data for autonomous machine applications" (Washington, New York Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14 -- United States Patent no. 12,681,179, issued on July 14, was assigned to NVIDIA Corp. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Object tracking using LiDAR data for autonomous machine applications" was invented by Richard Zachary Robinson (Woodinville, Wash.), Jens Christian Bo Joergensen (Flushing, N.Y.), David Wehr (Redmond, Wash.) and Joachim Pehserl (Lynnwood, Wash.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In various examples, an obstacle detector is capable of tracking a velocity state of detected objects or obstacles using LiDAR data. For example, using LiDAR data alone, an iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm may be used to determine a current state of detected objects for a current ...
