Abstract: In one embodiment for generating passthrough, a system may receive an image and depth measurements of an environment and generate a corresponding 3D model. The system identifies, in the image, first pixels depicting a physical object and second pixels corresponding to a padded boundary around the first pixels. The system associates the first pixels with a first portion of the 3D model representing the physical object and a first representative depth value computed based on the depth measurements. The system associates the second pixels with a second portion of the 3D model representing a region around the physical object and a second representative depth value farther than the first representative depth value. The system renders an output image depicting a virtual object and the physical object. Occlusions between the virtual object and the physical object are determined using the first representative depth value and the second representative depth value.

Abstract: After a driver parks a vehicle and has left the vehicle, a system relocates the autonomous vehicle into an optimized parking spot. The system obtains availability of other parking spots within a parking lot in which the vehicle is located. The system estimates whether any alternate parking spot would optimize cabin temperature and whether the energy consumed to complete an autonomous relocation of the vehicle will obtain a net savings in fuel economy relative to the energy expended by the relocation. The system determines the benefits of these optimized parking spots by using shaded and unshaded areas, GPS location of the vehicle, current date and time, and weather and fuel consumption estimates. If a favorable parking spot is determined, the autonomous vehicle relocates into the optimal alternate parking spot and informs the driver of the new location.
