Controlling host vehicle based on a predicted state of a parked vehicle
First Claim
1. A system for determining a predicted state of a parked vehicle in an environment of a host vehicle, the system comprising:
- an image capture device;
an infrared image capture device; and
at least one processing device programmed to;
receive, from the image capture device, a plurality of images associated with the environment of the host vehicle;
analyze at least one of the plurality of images to identify the parked vehicle;
analyze at least two of the plurality of images to identify a change in an illumination state of at least one light associated with the parked vehicle;
receive, from the infrared image capture device, at least one thermal image of the parked vehicle;
determine, based on the change in the illumination state and analysis of the at least one thermal image, the predicted state of the parked vehicle; and
cause at least one navigational response by the host vehicle based on the predicted state of the parked vehicle.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for navigating an autonomous vehicle. In one implementation, a system for determining a predicted state of a parked vehicle in an environment of a host vehicle may include an image capture device, an infrared image capture device, and at least one processing device. The processing device may be programmed to receive a plurality of images associated with the environment of the host vehicle, analyze at least one of the plurality of images to identify the parked vehicle, analyze at least two of the plurality of images to identify a change in an illumination state of at least one light associated with the parked vehicle, receive at least one thermal image of the parked vehicle, determine the predicted state of the parked vehicle, and cause at least one navigational response by the host vehicle based on the predicted state of the parked vehicle.
