ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 19 -- United States Patent no. 12,333,841, issued on June 17, was assigned to Motional AD LLC (Boston).

"Determining object mobility parameters using an object sequence" was invented by Varun Bankiti (Venice, Calif.), Oscar Beijbom (Santa Monica, Calif.) and Tianwei Yin (Austin, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A system can use semantic images, lidar images, and/or 3D bounding boxes to determine mobility parameters for objects in the semantic image.
