Abstract: The technology uses augmented reality (AR) elements for enhanced wayfinding with autonomous vehicle pickups and drop-offs. The approach includes generating, for presentation in a first region of a client device UI, trip information regarding a trip. Map information associated with the trip is generated for presentation in a second UI region, including at least one of a pickup location for a rider, a walking path from a current location of the rider to the pickup location, a planned route of the vehicle to the pickup location, or a current location of the vehicle. An AR indicator is generated for presentation in the second UI region. Upon selection of the indicator, the system modifies the second region into a first section to display at least a portion of the map information and a second section to display an augmented reality view, or replace the map information with the AR view.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for generating and using a model for identifying a plurality of pick up or drop off locations for a large venue point of interest. For instance, a large venue point of interest may be identified. The plurality may be identified for the large venue point of interest based on a combination of historical trip data and map information. The plurality may be associated with the large venue point of interest. The association may be stored in memory for later use. Thereafter, a request for a trip identifying the large venue point of interest may be received from a client computing device, and the plurality may be provided to the client computing device in response to the request. A pickup and drop off location of the plurality may be provided to an autonomous vehicle in order to cause the autonomous vehicle to transport a passenger to the pickup or drop off location.

Abstract: The technology employs spatial audio information to enhance wayfinding for pickup, drop-off and in-vehicle situations. The spatial information has a directional component, and a sense of distance can also be incorporated into the audio information. Audio cues or other spatial information is provided via headphones worn by a user. The spatial audio gives the user direction information, which can help locate the vehicle. In addition, this approach can be used when the rider is in the vehicle prior to exiting. For instance, spatial audio can be provided to the rider to give them contextual information about the environment outside the vehicle prior to exiting, such as whether a bicyclist is approaching on the side they will be exiting. This contextual information can alert the rider to wait or otherwise be more situationally aware when departing the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and method of generating video summaries are presented herein. Information defining a video may be obtained. The video may include a set of frame images. Parameter values for parameters of individual frame images of the video may be determined. Interest weights for the frame images may be determined. An interest curve for the video that characterizes the video by interest weights as a function of progress through the set of frame images may be generated. One or more curve attributes of the interest curve may be identified and one or more interest curve values of the interest curve that correspond to individual curve attributes may be determined. Interest curve values of the interest curve may be compared to threshold curve values. A subset of frame images of the video to include within a video summary of the video may be identified based on the comparison.

Abstract: A system and/or method configured to determine highlight segments. Content files that define content in a content segment set may be obtained. A highlight segment set may be determined from the content segment set. Determining the highlight segment set may include iterating (a)-(c) for multiple iterations. At (a), individual content segments included in the content segment set may be selected as a selected content segment for inclusion in the highlight segment set. At, (b) diversity scores for content segments that are (i) included in the content segment set and (ii) not yet selected for inclusion in the highlight segment set may be determined. At (c), one or more of the content segments may be disqualified for inclusion in the highlight segment set for future iterations based on the diversity scores.

Abstract: Video information defining video content may be accessed. The video content may have a progress length and include a capture of an activity and a sub-activity at one or more moments in the progress length. Portions of the video content may be associated individually with values of an interest metric such that the values of the interest metric as a function of progress through the video content form an interest curve for the video content. The activity and the sub-activity captured within the video content may be identified. An activity metric modifier for the interest curve at the one or more moments in the progress length may be determined based on the identification of the activity and the identification of the sub-activity. The interest curve may be modified at the one or more moments based on the activity metric modifier.

Abstract: A system and/or method configured to determine a sample frame order for analyzing a video. The video may have multiple frames ordered in a sequence from a beginning to an end. A first sample frame order for analyzing the video may be determined. Determining the first sample frame order may include determining an initial frame for a first iteration, and determining secondary frames for a second iteration. Determining the initial frame and the secondary frames may be based on a function of frame position in the sequence of frames. The initial frame may be associated with a first sample position, and the secondary frames may be associated with secondary sample positions in the sample frame order. A first feature of the video may be determined based on an analysis of the frames in the video performed on the frames in the first sample frame order.

Abstract: System and/or method configured to determine a sample frame order for analyzing a video. The video may have multiple frames ordered in a sequence from a beginning to an end. Segments of the video may be determined based on an analysis of the frames of the video. A first sample frame order for analyzing the video may be determined based on multiple iterations performed on individual ones of the segments of the video. Determining the first sample frame order may include determining initial frames for a first iteration, and determining secondary frames for a second iteration based on a function of frame position in the sequence of frames. The initial frames and the secondary frames may be associated with sample positions in the sample frame order.
