Patent attributes
A traffic signal analysis system for an autonomous vehicle (AV) can receive image data from one or more cameras, the image data including an upcoming traffic signaling system located at an intersection. The system can determine an action for the AV through the intersection and access a matching signal map specific to the upcoming traffic signaling system. Using the matching signal map, the system can generate a signal template for the upcoming traffic signaling system and determine a first subset and a second subset of the plurality of traffic signal faces that apply to the action. The system can dynamically analyze the first subset and the second subset to determine a state of the upcoming traffic signaling system for the action, and generate an output for the AV indicating the state of the upcoming traffic signaling system for the action.
