Geocoding data for an automated vehicle
An Autonomous Vehicle (AV) system is described. The AV system is capable of determining at motor control command associated with an AV trajectory. The AV system includes a content generating device, a system controller, and an AV sensor. The content generating device collects target data associated with a target. The system controller is communicatively coupled to the content generating device. The system controller extracts target features from the target data. Also, the system controller compares the extracted target features to target model data to determine a target pose. Additionally, the system controller determines the AV trajectory by comparing the target pose with at least one target objective. The AV sensor determines an AV state. The system controller determines a motor control command associated with the AV trajectory based on the AV state, the target objective, and the AV trajectory.
