Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for generating a route through a geographic area are provided. The disclosed technology can generate an unoccupied cell map. The unoccupied cell map can include cells that are associated with unoccupied portions of a geographic area that are not associated with light detection and ranging (LiDAR) returns. Further, route request data that is associated with a request for a route from a starting location to one or more destination locations within the geographic area can be received. Based on the route request data, the unoccupied cell map can be accessed. A route, based on the unoccupied cell map, can then be generated. Furthermore, the route can include the unoccupied cells between a starting location and one or more destination locations within the geographic area. Indications associated with the route can then be generated.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that enable map search recommendations based on a geo-semantic index developed using image content analysis. In one example, a computer-implemented method can include obtaining, by one or more computing devices, a vocabulary of image feature types associated with user activities. The method can include obtaining a collection of imagery. The method can include performing image content analysis on the collection of imagery based on the vocabulary of image feature types. The method can include generating at least one activity score for each of a plurality of location cells in a geo-semantic index based at least in part on the vocabulary of image feature types. The method can include populating the geo-semantic index of location cells, the geo-semantic index of location cells including data indicative of the at least one activity score for each location cell.

Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, devices, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for mapping geographical surfaces. The disclosed technology can access image data and sensor data. The image data can include a plurality of images of one or more locations and semantic information associated with the one or more locations. The sensor data can include sensor information associated with detection of one or more surfaces at the one or more locations by one or more sensors. One or more irregular surfaces can be detected based at least in part on the image data and the sensor data. The one or more irregular surfaces can include the one or more surfaces associated with the image data and the sensor data that satisfies one or more irregular surface criteria at each of the one or more locations respectively. Map data including information associated with the one or more irregular surfaces can be generated.

Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, devices, apparatuses, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for navigation and geocoding. The disclosed technology can perform operations including accessing location data and semantic tags. The location data can include information associated with interactions at locations. Each semantic tag can include information associated with one of the locations. Further, each semantic tag can be descriptive of features associated with the respective location. The location data and the plurality of semantic tags that satisfy suitability criteria can be identified. The suitability criteria can be associated with the suitability of each location for use by a geographic context application. A suitable location can be determined based on the location data and the semantic tags that satisfy the suitability criteria. Furthermore, the indications including a description of the suitable location can be generated based on the features associated with the suitable location.

Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, devices, apparatuses, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for navigation and geocoding. The disclosed technology can perform operations including accessing location data and semantic tags.

Abstract: A user requests a package delivery from a package delivery system. The package delivery system provides the user with a machine-readable code for display at the delivery location. An aerial delivery device receives, from the package delivery system computing device, information associated with the delivery location of the package. The information comprises information matching the information in the machine-readable code associated with the delivery location and a delivery address. The delivery device secures the package for transporting to the delivery location and transports the package to the delivery address. The delivery device locates the machine-readable code on a display at the delivery address and verifies that the information from the machine-readable code is associated with the package. The delivery device deposits the package on the display.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying views for geographic imagery using geolocated text are provided. More specifically, a multi-resolution textual descriptors map associating text with specific geographic locations can be accessed and used to identify a viewpoint for displaying geographic imagery associated with an object of interest. The multi-resolution textual descriptors map can be a collection of data that associates text objects from the geolocated text with a plurality of varying zoom levels relative to the geographic area. The multi-resolution text map can provide labels of varying specificity based on the zoom level relative to the geographic area. Geographic locations and/or zoom levels corresponding to a text object describing or otherwise associated with the object of interest can be identified from the multi-resolution textual descriptors map. A view encompassing the identified geographic locations and/or zoom levels can be used to provide a viewpoint for the object of interest in the imagery.
