Abstract: A method for ascertaining an initial pose of a vehicle using a control device. Measured data ascertained by a GNSS sensor system and/or an odometry sensor system are received and evaluated to ascertain an approximate pose of the vehicle with a margin of uncertainty. At least one trajectory of road users is extracted from a trajectory map for the ascertained margin of uncertainty. Test points are positioned along the extracted trajectory. An optimization algorithm is performed for each test point along the trajectory. The optimization algorithm ascertains poses having corresponding cost functions. A pose having the greatest cost function is determined as the initial pose of the vehicle from the poses ascertained by the optimization algorithm. A control device, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium are also provided.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing on-demand localization in a microservice application environment. Generally described, an on-demand localization environment enables the system to serve localized user interface labels for an existing, e.g., monolith application, on-demand-without impacting the existing setup of the application or its present means of handling localizations. The described approach can ensure that only the localization which is needed for a particular user interface or visited page is served, without incurring additional round-trips back to the server for user interface messages that could have been served from the client. For applications and user interfaces comprising more than one module, the system can retrieve the localization for each of the modules in a single call.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating non-semantic reference data for determining the position of a motor vehicle involves a set of raw data points being provided that models a stipulated surrounding area. A stipulated descriptor characterizing a property of the surrounding area is determined for each of the raw data points. At least one point cluster is generated by grouping the raw data points on the basis of their descriptors. A characteristic number relating to an information gain for determining the position of the motor vehicle is assigned to a first point cluster on the basis of the descriptors of the raw data points. The characteristic number is taken as a basis for storing feature information of the first point cluster on a memory unit as non-semantic reference data for determining the position.

Abstract: A geometric plane defined by a building-perimeter feature in an image capture by a mobile device is identified. The building-perimeter feature is co-located with an exterior wall of a building within which the mobile device is located. An orientation and/or location of the mobile device with respect to the geometric plane and an orientation of the mobile device with respect to a defined geographical direction are determined. A building model for the building and defining perimeter portions of the building (each perimeter portion corresponding to a respective exterior wall) is obtained or accessed. Based on the orientation and/or location of the mobile device with respect to the geometric plane, the orientation of the mobile device with respect to the defined geographical direction, and/or the building model, a particular perimeter portion of the building model that corresponds to the building-perimeter feature is identified and corresponding location information is determined.
