Publication number: 20240110811Abstract: Techniques are discussed for modifying map elements associated with map data. Map data can include three-dimensional data (e.g., LIDAR data) representing an environment, while map elements can be associated with the map data to identify locations and semantic information associated with an environment, such as regions that correspond to driving lanes or crosswalks. A trajectory associated with the map data can be updated, such as when aligning one or more trajectories in response to a loop closure, updated calibration, etc. The transformation between a trajectory and an updated trajectory can be applied to map elements to warp the map elements so that they correspond to the updated map data, thereby providing automatic and accurate techniques for updating map elements associated with map data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Derek Adams, Patrick Blaes, Aleksandrs Ecins, Jesse Sol Levinson, Daniel Miller

Publication number: 20230159063Abstract: Provided are methods for autonomous driving mode engagement. Some systems described receive at least one autonomous vehicle operation task output associated with driving a vehicle in autonomous driving mode in an environment while the vehicle is operated in manual driving mode in the environment. The at least one autonomous vehicle operation task output is compared to a respective threshold, wherein the respective threshold is adaptive based on a current operational state of the vehicle in the manual driving mode. A transition indicator is set based on the comparison, and a transition from the manual driving mode to the autonomous driving mode is rejected in response to the transition indicator indicating a smooth transition from the manual driving mode to the autonomous driving mode is unavailable. Methods and computer program products are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2021Publication date: May 25, 2023Inventors: Jesse Adam Miller, Eric Wolff, Ning Wu

Patent number: 10753869Abstract: In one aspect, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a lens-free imaging system. The lens-free imaging system includes: an image sampler, a radiation source, a mask disposed between the image sampler and a scene, and an image sampler processor. The image sampler processor obtains signals from the image sampler that is exposed, through the mask, to radiation scattered by the scene which is illuminated by the radiation source.
