Publication number: 20240361148Abstract: Systems and methods for vehicle-based determination of HD map update information. Sensor-equipped vehicles may determine locations of various detected objects relative to the vehicles. Vehicles may also determine the location of reference objects relative to the vehicles, where the location of the reference objects in an absolute coordinate system is also known. The absolute coordinates of various detected objects may then be determined from the absolute position of the reference objects and the locations of other objects relative to the reference objects. Newly-determined absolute locations of detected objects may then be transmitted to HD map services for updating.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: Amir Akbarzadeh, Ruchita Bhargava, Bhaven Dedhia, Rambod Jacoby, Jeffrey Liu, Vaibhav Thukral

Publication number: 20230366698Abstract: An end-to-end system for data generation, map creation using the generated data, and localization to the created map is disclosed. Mapstreams—or streams of sensor data, perception outputs from deep neural networks (DNNs), and/or relative trajectory data—corresponding to any number of drives by any number of vehicles may be generated and uploaded to the cloud. The mapstreams may be used to generate map data—and ultimately a fused high definition (HD) map—that represents data generated over a plurality of drives. When localizing to the fused HD map, individual localization results may be generated based on comparisons of real-time data from a sensor modality to map data corresponding to the same sensor modality. This process may be repeated for any number of sensor modalities and the results may be fused together to determine a final fused localization result.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: David Nister, Ruchi Bhargava, Vaibhav Thukral, Michael Grabner, Ibrahim Eden, Jeffrey Liu
