US Patent 12014549 Systems and methods for vehicle light signal classification

A vehicle light classification system captures a sequence of images of a scene that includes a front/rear view of a vehicle with front/rear-side lights, determines semantic keypoints, in the images and associated with the front/rear-side lights, based on inputting the images into a first neural network, obtains multiple difference images that are each a difference between successive images from among the sequence of images, the successive images being aligned based on their respective semantic keypoints, and determines a classification of the front/rear-side lights based at least in part on the difference images by inputting the difference images into a second neural network.
