Controlling host vehicle based on detected door opening events
First Claim
1. A system for navigating a host vehicle based on detecting a door opening event in an environment of the vehicle, the system comprising:
- at least one processing device programmed to;
receive, from an image capture device, at least one image associated with the environment of the host vehicle;
analyze the at least one image to identify a side of a parked vehicle;
identify, in the at least one image, a first structural feature of the parked vehicle in a forward region of the side of the parked vehicle and a second structural feature of the parked vehicle in a rear region of the side of the parked vehicle;
identify, in the at least one image, a door edge of the parked vehicle in a vicinity of the first and second structural features;
determine, based on analysis of one or more subsequent images received from the image capture device, a change of an image characteristic of the door edge of the parked vehicle; and
alter a navigational path of the host vehicle based at least in part on the change of the image characteristic of the door edge of the parked vehicle.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for navigating an autonomous vehicle. In one implementation, a system for navigating a host vehicle based on detecting a door opening event may include at least one processing device. The processing device may be programmed to receive at least one image associated with the environment of the host vehicle, analyze the at least one image to identify a side of a parked vehicle, identify a first structural feature of the parked vehicle and a second structural feature of the parked vehicle, identify a door edge of the parked vehicle in a vicinity of the first and second structural features, determine a change of an image characteristic of the door edge of the parked vehicle, and alter a navigational path of the host vehicle based at least in part on the change of the image characteristic of the door edge of the parked vehicle.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which, when executed by at least one processing device, perform a method comprising:
-
receiving, from an image capture device, at least one image associated with the environment of the host vehicle; analyzing the at least one image to identify a side of a parked vehicle; identifying, in the at least one image, a first structural feature of the parked vehicle in a forward region of the side of the parked vehicle and a second structural feature of the parked vehicle in a rear region of the side of the parked vehicle; identifying, in the at least one image, a door edge of the parked vehicle in a vicinity of the first and second structural features; determining, based on analysis of one or more subsequent images received from the image capture device, a change of an image characteristic of the door edge of the parked vehicle; and altering a navigational path of the host vehicle based at least in part on the change of the image characteristic of the door edge of the parked vehicle.
