MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611071558 A) filed by Noida Institute Of Engineering And Technology Niet on June 09, 2026, for Hardware-Enforced Stochastic Patch Descriptor Selection Apparatus For Robust Autonomous Vehicle Perception.
Inventors include Saurabh Namdev; and Ritesh Rajput.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: An autonomous vehicle perception accelerator apparatus (100) comprising a frozen foundation model feature extractor (110) producing a patch descriptor tensor, a descriptor block random access memory (120) storing the tensor, a mask generator finite state machine (130) with a linear feedback shift register (132) and comparator array (134) producing a per-frame binary selection vector, a descriptor gating circuit (140) with an AND-gate array (142) and zero-fill multiplexer array (144) producing a sparse tensor preserving spatial grid coordinates, an interconnect bus firewall (150) with a master-identifier comparator (152) enforcing transaction-level isolation, a policy network accelerator (160) producing vehicle steering and throttle commands, and a configuration latch block (170) irreversibly write-locking the seed register (138), threshold register (136), mode register, and access control register (154) after initialization, thereby providing hardware-enforced stochastic patch descriptor selection that reduces redundancy in foundation model embeddings and improves out-of-distribution driving robustness.
