Patent number: 11313696Abstract: A vehicle is described, and includes an on-board controller, an extra-vehicle communication system, a GPS sensor, a spatial monitoring system, and a navigation system that employs an on-vehicle navigation map. Operation includes capturing a 3D sensor representation of a field of view and an associated GPS location, executing a feature extraction routine, executing a semantic segmentation of the extracted features, executing a simultaneous location and mapping (SLAM) of the extracted features, executing a context extraction from the simultaneous location and mapping of the extracted features, and updating the on-vehicle navigation map based thereon. A parsimonious map representation is generated based upon the updated on-vehicle navigation map, and is communicated to a second, off-board controller. The second controller executes a sparse map stitching to update a base navigation map based upon the parsimonious map representation. The on-vehicle navigation map is updated based upon the off-board navigation map.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignees: GM Global Technology Operations LLC, University of Southern CaliforniaInventors: Fawad Ahmad, Hang Qiu, Ramesh Govindan, Donald K.

Patent number: 10529089Abstract: Systems and method are provided for controlling an autonomous vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving sensor data from a sensor of the vehicle; determining a three dimensional point cloud map segment from the sensor data; determining a vehicle pose associated with the three-dimensional point cloud map segment; determining a pose difference based on the vehicle pose, another vehicle pose, and a two-step process, wherein the two-step process includes computing a coarse-granularity pose difference, and computing a fine-granularity pose difference; aligning the three dimensional point cloud map segment with another three dimensional point cloud map segment associated with the other vehicle pose based on the pose difference; and controlling the vehicle based on the aligned three dimensional point cloud map segments.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignees: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAInventors: Fawad Ahmad, Hang Qiu, Fan Bai, Ramesh Govindan
