  • Patent number: 11977167
    Abstract: An improved, efficient method for mapping world points from an environment (e.g., points generated by a LIDAR sensor of an autonomous vehicle) to locations (e.g., pixels) within rolling-shutter images taken of the environment is provided. This improved method allows for accurate localization of the world point in a rolling-shutter image via an iterative process that converges in very few iterations. The method poses the localization process as an iterative process for determining the time, within the rolling-shutter exposure period of the image, at which the world point was imaged by the camera. The method reduces the number of times the world point is projected into the normalized space of the camera image, often converging in three or fewer iterations.

  • Publication number: 20230360242
    Abstract: An electronic device tracks its motion in an environment while building a three-dimensional visual representation of the environment that is used to correct drift in the tracked motion. A motion tracking module estimates poses of the electronic device based on feature descriptors corresponding to the visual appearance of spatial features of objects in the environment. A mapping module builds a three-dimensional visual representation of the environment based on a stored plurality of maps, and feature descriptors and estimated device poses received from the motion tracking module. The mapping module provides the three-dimensional visual representation of the environment to a localization module, which identifies correspondences between stored and observed feature descriptors. The localization module performs a loop closure by minimizing the discrepancies between matching feature descriptors to compute a localized pose.

  • Publication number: 20230298567
    Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a solution for speech synthesis and speech recognition. In this solution, a Text to Speech (TTS) model and an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) model supporting at least one language are obtained. The TTS model and the ASR model are adjusted, based on a first set of paired data in a target language, to support the target language. The TTS model is optimized based on the first set of paired data and a first set of synthesized paired data in the target language generated by the ASR model while the ASR model is optimized based on the first set of paired data and a second set of synthesized paired data in the target language generated by the TTS model. As such, the solution can provide TTS and ASR models with high accuracy for languages lacking training data by using less training data.
