Autonomous vehicle navigation based on recognized landmarks
First Claim
1. A system for autonomously navigating a vehicle along a road segment, the system comprising:
- at least one processor programmed to;
receive from an image capture device at least one image representative of an environment of the vehicle;
analyze the at least one image to identify at least one recognized landmark;
determine a current location of the vehicle relative to a predetermined road model trajectory associated with the road segment based, at least in part, on a predetermined location of the recognized landmark; and
determine an autonomous steering action for the vehicle based on a direction of the predetermined road model trajectory at the determined current location of the vehicle relative to the predetermined road model trajectory.

Abstract
A system for autonomously navigating a vehicle along a road segment is disclosed. The system may have at least one processor. The processor may be programmed to receive from an image capture device at least one image representative of an environment of the vehicle. The processor may also be programmed to analyze the at least one image to identify at least one recognized landmark. Further, the processor may be programmed to determine a current location of the vehicle relative to a predetermined road model trajectory associated with the road segment based, at least in part, on a predetermined location of the recognized landmark. In addition, the processor may be programmed to determine an autonomous steering action for the vehicle based on a direction of the predetermined road model trajectory at the determined current location of the vehicle relative to the predetermined road model trajectory.

17. A method of navigating a vehicle, comprising:
-
receiving, from an image capture device associated with the vehicle, at least one image representative of an environment of the vehicle; analyzing, using a processor associated with the vehicle, the at least one image to identify at least one recognized landmark; determining a current position of the vehicle relative to a predetermined road model trajectory associated with the road segment based, at least in part, on a predetermined location of the recognized landmark; determining an autonomous steering action for the vehicle based on a direction of the predetermined road model trajectory at the determined current location of the vehicle relative to the predetermined road model trajectory; and adjusting a steering system of the vehicle based on the autonomous steering action to navigate the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
