  • Localized map generation
    Patent number: 11118911
    Abstract: A method of creating a local map includes: receiving, at a mobile electronic data processing apparatus, a request from a server to generate a map of a specified destination; sending to the server a message accepting the request to generate the map responsive to receiving, at a user input of the mobile electronic data processing device, a user command indicating acceptance of the request; generating, using a processor, information related to construction of the map; an transmitting, from the mobile electronic data processing apparatus, the information related to construction of the map.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 16, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 14, 2021
    Assignee: Apple Inc.
    Inventors: Alex Flint, Oleg Naroditsky, Andriy Grygorenko, Oriel Bergig
  • Visual-based inertial navigation
    Patent number: 10152795
    Abstract: A method includes: receiving sensor measurements from a pre-processing module, in which the sensor measurements include image data and inertial data for a device; transferring, using a processor, information derived from the sensor measurements, from a first set of variables associated with a first window of time to a second set of variables associated with a second window of time, in which the first and second windows consecutively overlap in time; and outputting, to a post-processing module, a state of the device based on the transferred information.
