  • Patent number: 11892832
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium that generates lane path descriptors for use by autonomous vehicles. One of the methods includes receiving data that defines valid lane paths in a scene in an environment. Each valid lane path represents a path through the scene that can be traversed by a vehicle. User interface presentation data can be provided to a user device. The user interface can contain: (i) a first display area that displays a first visual representation of the sensor measurement; and (ii) a second display area that displays a second visual representation of the set of valid lane paths. User input modifying the second visual representation of the set of valid lane paths can be received; and in response to receiving the user input, the set of valid lane paths of the scene in the environment can be modified.

  • Publication number: 20230215044
    Abstract: Methods and systems for associating labels between multiple sensors. One of the methods includes generating user interface presentation data that, when presented on a user device, causes the user device to display a user interface that: displays the images in the sequence of images and data identifying the first and second object tracks, and is configured to receive user inputs that associate first object tracks with second object tracks; and providing the user interface presentation data for presentation on the user device.

  • Publication number: 20220358314
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating and editing object track labels for objects detected in video data. One of the methods includes obtaining a video segment comprising multiple image frames associated with multiple time points; obtaining object track data specifying a set of object tracks; providing, for presentation to a user, a user interface for modifying the object track data, the user interface displaying object timeline representations of the object tracks; receiving one or more user inputs that indicate one or more modifications to the object timeline representations; updating the object timeline representations displayed in the timeline display area; and updating the object track data according to the updated object timeline representations.
