Abstract: A scene reconstruction model is disclosed that outputs a heightfield for a series of input images. The model, for each input image, predicts a depth map and extracts a feature map. The model builds a 3D model utilizing the predicted depth maps and camera poses for the images. The model raycasts the 3D model to determine a raw heightfield for the scene. The model utilizes the raw heightfield to sample features from the feature maps corresponding to positions on the heightfield. The model aggregates the sampled features into an aggregate feature map. The model regresses a refined heightfield based on the aggregate feature map. The model determines the final heightfield based on a combination of the raw heightfield and the refined heightfield. With the final heightfield, a client device may generate virtual content augmented on real-world images captured by the client device.

Abstract: A method for evaluating spatially resolved actual sensor data recorded with at least one sensor. The actual sensor data are read first. A location and an orientation of the actual sensor data are ascertained. A spatially resolved map with spatially resolved expectations of sensor data is read. The spatially resolved expectations of the sensor data are compared to the actual sensor data. A property can be ascertained from the comparison. An estimation can take place as to what influence an error source has on the comparison of the spatially resolved expectations of the sensor data to the actual sensor data. It is determined whether or not the property is fulfilled, based on the comparison of the spatially resolved expectations of the sensor data to the actual sensor data and based on the estimation of the influence of the error source. The property and a property probability are output.

Abstract: A facility for automatically assessing referrals is described. The facility discerns first information about a referral by a referrer for a subject property being processed by a referral system. The discerned information includes a property jurisdiction of the referral in which the subject property is located, a referrer jurisdiction of the referral, and a category of service of the referral. The facility identifies one or more referral rule representations stored in a rule store for the discerned property jurisdiction. The facility applies the identified one or more referral rule representations to the discerned first information to obtain a determination regarding the compliance of the referral with referral rules to which the identified one or more referral rule representations correspond. The facility acts in response to the determination.
